The Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts is hosting POPE HEAD – The Secret Life of Francis Bacon on March 13 and 14. The production examines the life of abstract artist Francis Bacon, taking audiences on a journey through the psyche of the divisive painter. This dark comedy stars Garry Roost from East Enders and Black Books in a solo performance that has garnered high praise from critics in the UK.

The artist, his emotionally charged work and his equally reviled and acclaimed career as an artist is one of the most interesting stories in modern art. The trials and tribulations of Francis Bacon will be dissected in this riveting production. Success, failure, tragedy and ostracism from society will be unveiled piece by piece on stage. Tickets are still available – act quick or miss out.
