About the Play:

In a dirt-dry Australian town, a gunshot shatters the still night. A mother and her daughters have just welcomed home the man of the house – with a crack to the shins and a bullet to the neck. With a body to dispose of and neighbours asking awkward questions, their story unfolds with raw, rude, and brutally funny intensity.

The Bleeding Tree is an Australian Gothic murder ballad. It's the story of three fierce women fighting back. Described as “dangerous, deep, and devastatingly beautiful,” it is a razor-sharp thriller and a hauntingly tense, visceral exploration of revenge, complicity, and survival.

With its dark humour, poetic beauty, and searing wit, it is theatre at its boldest and most unforgettable.

The play offers excellent, challenging roles for three female actors. Auditions have been scheduled for 5 and 6 February with recalls on Sunday 9th. 

PLEASE NOTE

We are committed to improving diversity in our casting, and unless stated for artistic reasons, we aim to actively adopt an inclusive casting policy.

This is an amateur production. You do not need to be a member of Putney Theatre Company to audition, but actors and crew will need to become a member of Putney Theatre Company to take part in the show for £30 a year. A  £30 show fee will also need to be paid by all actors in the production. We encourage you to become a member of PTC anyway, even if not cast. 

Our company is run by volunteers and we expect all actors cast in a play to volunteer for Front of House duties at least once a year. Our shows could not go up without our Front of House volunteers.
