Presented by Theatre 180 with Government House Foundation

The Government House Foundation is collaborating with THEATRE 180 to mark the 100th Anniversary of the scandalous murder of Cyril Gidley by Audrey Jacob in 1925 in front of hundreds of guests at a charity ball at the Government House Ballroom.

ARTHUR HAYNES AND THE SMOKING GUN by Jenny Davis tells the incredible true story of a crime which shocked the nation, and the courtroom trial which tested the law in Western Australia.

Directed by THEATRE 180’s Artistic Director Stuart Halusz and featuring Andrew Lewis, Alexandria Henderson and Brett Hamilton, together with live musicians led by Foundation Artistic Director Mark Coughlan. Arthur Haynes & The Smoking Gun explores the turbulent times following the ravages of WWI, when society’s values were changing, and young people were living life with passion through the Roaring Twenties. As the story unfolds, the fascinating ambiguities of the tale leave the audience in the position of the jury. The facts become mired in speculation, and what initially appeared as an open and shut case becomes more and more difficult to determine…

Place yourself at the scene of the very crime, immerse yourself in live music from the 1920s, sweeping cinematic visuals and a talented cast playing multiple roles, for a dramatic piece of theatre like no other!

If you would like to get into the spirit of the era, 1920s costumes would be welcomed.
