The Eleventh Hour
The Eleventh Hour began because:

William Henderson and Anne Thompson wanted to work over time with an ensemble of artists who shared both their fascination with the possibilities of language and theatre space and their wish to rediscover a genuine process of composition in the theatre.
The Eleventh Hour wants:

poetry in the theatre - theatre in the poetry

The Eleventh Hour is interested in:

abstract space and concrete ideas - composition and counterpoint - making sense of texts and bodies in space & time - the word in, and out of, history

The Eleventh Hour enjoys:

new forms - laughter - making art slowly

The Eleventh Hour has so far performed works by:

Samuel Beckett Sarah Kane Bertolt Brecht Oscar Wilde Arthur Miller Johann Sebastian Bach Buster Keaton James Joyce & William Shakespeare

The Eleventh Hour hopes to perform works by:

William Henderson and David Tredinnick

The Eleventh Hour believes:

the working place that is theatre could be a good metaphor for the workings of the wider community

The Eleventh Hour accepts financial support from and is thus very grateful to:

several private donors who wish to remain anonymous, Arts Victoria, and the Robert Salzer Foundation.

The Eleventh Hour has a beautiful hall which is available for hire as a rehearsal space when the company is not in development, rehearsal or production.
