"More extravagant expenditure or auditorium capacity will not improve the colossal genius presented on this very special occasion."- Suzy Go See

"This production is one of the best pieces of indie theatre on Sydney stages'- The Daily Review

"Howie the Rookie is intelligently spare and beautifully performed, it is revealed as a rare feast of theatrical imagination. A short, sharp and shocking night that’s often brilliant." - Jo Litson

The Howie Lee (Andrew Henry) gets dragged into a bizarre feud of honour involving a scabies-infested mattress against The Rookie Lee (Sean Hawkins), which spirals out of control and ends in his own personal tragedy. The Rookie has problems of his own: massively in debt to a terrifying gangland figure for killing his prized Siamese fighting fish, he steels himself for a hideous revenge, until he is championed from an unlikely quarter by his one-time enemy.

The performance runs for 75 minutes without an interval.
