Side Pony Productions have been invited by the Underbelly Theatre to perform The Pride as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This is an amazing opportunity to present a show that has done so well in Perth at the biggest arts market in the world.
The Pride will play at the Underbelly Theatre in a great time slot and a great venue for the month of the fringe. This opportunity has the potential to have the work of an emerging Perth based company seen by festival directors from around the world.
This is an exciting opportunity but the cost of airfares for the cast and crew is high and we need your support to help get us on the plane.
Bruce knows his time is limited, since James, his stronger, more handsome neighbour, has been peering through the windows admiring the family and the mod cons. Such is the life of a lion. The Pride borrows from the drama of a lion's life mapping their social patterns onto human characters. Its a dark comedy that looks at peoples readiness to forgive, even in the face of gross moral misconduct.
The Pride stays true to Side Pony Productions signature style - black comedy at its darkest - borrowing from the drama of a lions life, mapping their social patterns onto human characters dressed like lions.
The Pride has played two seasons in Perth with great success, first at the Blue Room Theatre where the show took out the award for Best Production and then again with Perth Theatre Company, playing at the Studio Underground.
“Surreal, whimsical and joyous...the funniest show I've seen in ages." The West Australian
The Pride takes a long hard look at lions. Bruce, the figurehead of the family has just chosen a savannah theme for his new kitchen. Bruce is weighed down by his impressive mane and is beginning to struggle with the pressure of the renovations and taking care of his pride.

Pride is smart, funny and terrifically performed. It has a
strong personality behind it and a primal, sinister spirit haunting its comedic
heart." Everything is Amazing, and Nobody is Happy
