Raton Laveur is very excited to be making its debut in the 2013 Adelaide Fringe at the Bakehouse Theatre!
Why we need your help...
Its a huge undertaking as most of the cast and crew are coming from Melbourne and we need your help to get there. By donating, you will be supporting us to get the cast, crew, director and producer to Adelaide, as well as accommodation for some of us during that time. We wont be staying in fancy hotels, but we need somewhere central to the theatre as we will be preforming 6 or 7 days a week. Yep we are workin' it!!

A breakdown of some of our costs are:
Director travel Melbourne - Adelaide = $300
Director accommodation = $400
Actor accommodation for whole season (4.5 weeks) = $2800.00
As well as this, we would like to advertise our little show and get it out to the masses. Competition is fierce in Adelaide with hundreds of shows wanting your bum on their seat. We will use some of the money to put towards poster and postcard production and awesome merch like badges and racoon masks, anything that will make us stand out from the crowd.
Poster/postcard design and print = $2000
Poster/postcard distribution = $500
So as you can see, the amount we are hoping to make on Pozible is less that what our outgoings are. However every pledge goes a long way to making this show happen!
About the Show
Below is some info and reviews about the show...and stay tuned for a promo video coming soon, starring the little guy - Raton Laveur.
Fairly Lucid Productions is thrilled to introduce to Adelaide Fringe audiences the sold out Toronto Fringe Festival Hit – Raton Laveur.
Described as a comedy with dark circle under its eyes, Raton Laveur (the French word for Raccoon) won audiences over in its premiere season at the Toronto Fringe Festival with reviewers naming it “irresistible” and a “comedic goldmine”.
The play tells the story of Phil and Lily who have moved to Toronto from Australia to pursue Lily's dreams. Phil, finding himself at loose ends, becomes obsessed with the nest of raccoons living behind the creperie where he works. As Phil descends deeper into paranoia, things take a violent turn, and Lily is left cleaning up the mess.

A comedy about love, relationships, and knives that cut through bone.
The talented cast includes Ben Noble (an Award Winning Australian Playwright and Actor whose work has been described as “beautifully eclectic”and “diversely textured”) and Wendy Bos (Hawke, McLeods Daughters, & award winning artist with Floogle Theatre Company)
This will be a production not to be missed!
