Butterfly Theatre was created in 2013 to allow opportunities for artists to perform in suitably sourced non-traditional and site-specific spaces.

Recognising the commercial benefits that theatrical performances and audiences can bring to local venues, Butterfly Theatre’s brief is to:

• Co-create theatre in a collaborative model, linking venues and artists

• Provide a business model that recognises and rewards the input of the performers

• Align business practice and theatre production within a dynamic systems approach that recognises the Butterfly Effect – initial small changes in practice can have widening impacts on outcomes for all.

• Focus on one-off projects – modelling on life cycle of a butterfly – cocoon – butterfly – flight

Original Compositions by Jodie O’Regan, accompanied by Matthew Lykos

EPISODE: And Then There Were None, Phoenix Variety & Music Group

And Then There Were None, a play written by Agatha Christie. Discretion Is advised. Directed By Justine C. Lewis

This episode of For the Love of Theatre Podcast features interviews with the Director, Justine Lewis, the Costumer, Lukas Barker, Stage Manager, Mickayla Bates, and the Chairman of Phoenix Variety & Music Group, Daniel Tandler. We were also able to grab a quick word with CAST Members Meg Ross (Vera Claythorne), Will Parange (Phillip Lombard) and John Martin (Sir Lawrence Wargrave).

And Then There Were None is Agatha Christie's own dramatic adaptation of her best-selling novel. Ten strangers are summoned by mysterious host U.N Owen to a mansion on Soldier Island, just offthe coast of Devon, England All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for MURDER! Baffled, these strangers realise that they have no idea who their host is; and as the weather turns, the group is cut off from the mainland, they understand that they have been brought to the island by a maniac who intends to dispense their own perverted form of justice And then as the first guest is dispatched the bloodbath truly begins and it is clear that the remaining guests can trust no one. As one by one they are brutally murdered, falling away to the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme!

But who is the Killer? Is it Mr Phillip Lombard? The mysterious regiment captain who abandoned his men? Could it be Dr. Armstrong? A Doctor who has an intense interest in nervous disorders? What about Sir Lawrence Wargrave? A Court Justice with an eerily calm demeanor? Or perhaps Miss Vera Claythorne, a young secretary with a heartbreaking secret? Will anybody survive this gathering to make it off the island?

(Phoenix Variety and Music Group is proud to announce that this production restores the original 1939 ending, drawn from the novel and using entirely Dame Agatha Christie's own words.)

Phoenix Variety and Music Group are a theatre group located in Adelaide's southern suburbs. We pride ourselves on being very community focussed and a very open and accepting place. At PVMG we try to keep the drama on the stage only. We are made of a group of thespians that love all aspects of theatre ranging from off the stage, to behind it, to of course on it. PVMG has been going for 5 years officially and focuses on doing at least one large scale production a year. Our previous catalogue includes: Robin The Hood, The Menagerie of Madness, Starkid's Firebringer, & CLUE: On Stage.
