Visiting Hours

@ Kings Cross Theatre

-
$35 / $25
Visiting Hours is a mind-bending experience that sees the five-story Kings Cross Hotel reimagined as an off-the-grid medical facility run by a mysterious figure known only as The Doctor. Audience members are plunged into The Doctor’s bizarre and disturbing medical world, while participating in his unconventional therapies and experiments. The character of The Doctor is inspired by a larger-than-life, gun-toting physician who treated Kings Cross residents in the 1930s. Co-writer and Director for Visiting Hours, and bAKEHOUSE Co-Artistic Director, John Harrison said, “We wanted Visiting Hours to connect with the history of the Cross. Some truly fascinating people lived here in the late 19th and early 20th century and one of those was the creative spark for the show.” Visiting Hours features a team of over 20 actors, singers and musicians in a work that blends music, performance, lighting and sound with a design that exploits the unique architecture of the Kings Cross Hotel. “At its heart, Visiting Hours is a love story but just not in a traditional form,” says co-writer Michael Costi. “It’s fun and trippy and as the night progresses, the experience becomes darker and more unsettling. There are breakout moments and surprises that mean every audience member will have an entirely unique experience!” Sessions start every 30 minutes between 7 - 9pm. Running time 75 minutes.
