The Eight - Reindeer Monologues

The Eight Reindeer Monologues.. A quirky Xmas Pageant.The British have their Queen, the Americans have Elvis & Reindeer have.... The Eight!

The Eight are Dasher, Cupid, Hollywood, Blitzen, Comet, Dancer, Donner and Vixen... think of a Gary Larson (Far Side) cartoon in 3-D.  

In Jeff Goode's satirical take on Christmas, they are the protagonists in an irreverent series of adult monologues which cover the spectrum of many of our modern archetypes and their foibles.

Santa is a naughty old fellow with a penchant for attractive young does, Rudolph is in a catatonic state after seeing too much and Mrs. Claus drinks in order to cope with it all... all is not well at the North Pole circa 2005. 

Eight professional actors (The Eight and Santa) perform their monologues and ad lib as roving characters through a themed evening of festivities.  

The Eight may be booked as a stand alone performance of approximately one hour duration or incorporated into your company's Christmas function amidst speeches, presentations or meals. 

If you're looking for Christmas entertainment with some extra Ho, Ho, Ho this year, look no further than The Eight!

Larrikin Ensemble Theatre brings together the combined talents, expertise and experience of artistic director Chris Bunworth and producer Wolf Heidecker.

They create 'comedy with a conscience' for the national and international market place, and with THE EIGHT left a lasting impression at Melbourne's infamous Cabaret-venue "The Butterfly Club" in 2004.

Chris has worked as an actor, director, MC, and theatre manager since 1990, and upon returning from the USA in 2001 has been seen on stage with the MTC, on the small screen in Blue Heelers, Stingers and can currently be seen in the recent Australian release of "Three Dollars" featuring David Wenham.

Wolf came to Australia with more than 25 years of experience as artistic director, and General Manager/CEO with several German opera and theatre companies.

He has been working as Orchestra Manager in Brisbane, and Business Director for Australia's well known Flying Fruit Fly Circus in Albury-Wodonga before moving to Werribee.
