Step into the absurd world of AUNT BATTY KNOWS.. as they weave dark tales of the ordinary and the supernatural.
Aunt Batty Knows… are a group of four local women returning to the professional stage in their maven years. In their working lives, they support and nurture others, and through the performance, they aim to take people on an emotional journey, as well as an entertaining one, where tragedy, absurdity and comedy can be a form of catharsis.
But who is Aunty Batty?.. The four faces are Karen Hughes, Gemma Hurst, Su Jackson, and Rosie Šošić.
Tales from the Armchair: Influenced by 1970s and 80s television horror programs, ‘Tales from the Armchair’ reflects human relationships and stories through a lens of the supernatural and the unexpected.
