Bangers and Mash is a hilarious comedy with a splash of melodrama, a heap of sitcom, lashings of slapstick, a dash of horror, and buckets of comedy. With breathtaking choreography, a song or two and deftly delivered one-liners, Bangers and Mash will leave you wanting to fall in love all over again.

Meet Bart, a cad and a womaniser who answers a share house ad and moves in with Mash; she’s single, likes Barbara Streisand and has a broken heart. Watch as they grapple with that certain romantic chemistry, forbidden between housemates. What do you do? Do you make a move... or do you move out?

Featuring the amazing and formidable duo of Drew Fairley and Kate Smith. An Australian team who have toured shows to the Edinburgh, Philadelphia Live Arts and New York festivals all to great critical acclaim. Now they deliver thigh slapping comedic genius for the delight of Australian audiences with their touring production of Bangers and Mash.

Voted one of the Best Independent Productions of 2003 by the Sun Herald.
