The Ballad of Backbone Joe (Australia)
High-energy-live-music-Australiana-comedy-visual-theatre-narrative!
A hilariously daft and gruesome tale of a murder, set in a small country town, cooked up the way only The Suitcase Royale lads can.
This internationally acclaimed trio returns to New Zealand riding a murder ballad of junkyard theatre, visual trickery, dark humour and rag’n’bone live music.
