Autobahn
by Neil Labute - Australian Premiere
directed by David Ryding

The direction, by David Ryding, is slick…the cast accomplished and Labute's writing compelling… the performances are skilful and the plays riveting.
The Herald Sun

The Act-O-Matic 3000 ensemble is very good. It is absolutely up to Labute's complexity, and David Ryding's direction does justice to the subtleties.
The Sunday Age

Autobahn contains a few excellent performances and fans of Labute's work should jump at the chance to see it
The Age

Sitting in an automobile was where I first remember understanding how drama works...Hidden in the back seat of a sedan, I quickly realised how deep the chasm or intense the claustrophobia could be inside your average family car.

Feb 14 - Mar 3 2007

Take a drive down the dark and winding side streets of human behaviour in Neil Labute's riveting new play, Autobahn. From behind the wheel of an automobile, renown playwright Labute (The Shape of Things, bash, This Is How It Goes) reveals a break-up gone horribly wrong, a thinly disguised kidnapping, the consequences of blacking out and waking up naked in a hotel room, and much more, all with his trademark acerbic wit.

Don't miss the Australian premiere of this provocative cycle of short plays, each infused with knife edge comedy and brutal honesty from the front seat of a car. The Act-O-Matic 3000 are pleased to present another piece of Labute's unforgettable work after its successful production of bash in 2004.

Featuring  David Gardette, Olivia Hogan, Natasha Jacobs, Ron Kofler, Cathy Kohlen, Brenda McKinty, Juan Modinger, Dan Walls, Shanrah Wakefield and Brett Whittingham
