With the ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ now over and bringing our Season Four to a close, we now look towards the thrilling ‘Never the Sinner’ – showing soon in our bakery@1812.

Chicago, May 21, 1924.

Nathan Leopold Jr., age 18, and Robert Loeb, age 19, killed 14 year old Bobby Franks and were quickly apprehended when Leopold’s glasses were found near the corpse.

Clarence Darrow defended them, pleading eloquently against capital punishment.

Why would wealthy young men murder an innocent boy?
What demons lurked behind Leob’s flashing good looks?
Behind Leopold’s saturnine intellect?

Showing in the bakery@1812 – 5th to the 28th October, 2017.

The 1812 Theatre has joined forces with The Australian Cancer Research Foundation to help raise funds for cancer research.

The ACRF’s funds research into ALL types of cancer, in only the best research institutes right across Australia. Funding applications are assessed on their potential to make ground-breaking progress in cancer treatment, diagnosis, prevention and/or cure, by an esteemed scientific committee of Australian cancer researchers, including Professor Ian Frazer (co-creator of the cervical cancer vaccine and 2006 Australian of the Year).

ACRF’s mission is to end cancer by providing world-class scientists with the equipment they need to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.

The 1812 theatre is proud to be supporting the ACRF in its fund raising activities.

As part of this initiative theatre patrons will now have the option to donate to the ACRF when attending an event at the theatre or when booking a theatre ticket online.

We look forward to making a positive contribution to this very worthy organisation and appreciate the support of the theatre community in this endeavour.
