Night Train Productions presents Butterfly Man

20 February 11:45am - 12:00pm Brisbane Powerhouse - The Hub Theatre Pitch All Ages

Henry Kennedy is not who he says he is. And he’s running out of time.

The Butterfly Man is a one-man show for solo actor adapted from the novel by Heather Rose and based on the real life mystery of Lord Lucan, who disappeared in 1974 after the murder of his children’s nanny in their London flat. Lucan is living in Tasmania under an assumed identity when he is diagnosed with a brain tumour and his former identity begins to resurface.

This virtuoso performance work is a thrilling whodunit and a profound inquiry into the nature of the self from a company renowned for its unique brand of intimate, visceral storytelling theatre.
