Bacchus Marsh’s Moonlite Theatre Company presents The Maltese Chicken, a radio play.
Richard (Dick) Pain and his trusted pianist, Fang Chew, flee the Moroccan port of Basaclanca fearing retribution after an important Nazi influencer, Freu Schlitz, is mysteriously killed.
They settle in the quiet seaside crab fishing village of Dodgy Bay, and Richard embarks on a new profession – a Private Eye.
Overnight, their world is upended as a gang of international villains and undesirables descend on Dodgy Bay in search of the precious statuette – The Maltese Chicken.
As Dodgy Bay becomes a haven for murder, mayhem, and unrequited love, will Dick Survive and get his hands on the priceless Maltese Chicken?
A good old-fashioned radio play set in the 1950s that involves crooks, clowns, and crab fishing.
Written and directed by Bruce Carboon.
Three shows only: Friday 16 May 8pm and Saturday 17 May 2pm and 8pm.
Tickets are $20 for non-members and $15 for members.
