Drama

World Premiere

Performing from August 29th 2024

Local Bendigo novelist, Colin King, set his first published novel in the Bendigo / Heathcote area.

It tells the story of Detective Sargeant Rory James, just back from stress leave, being assigned a cold case.

He walks into the Heathcote winery to interview the woman who found the body 14 years ago.

Problem is, she’s discovered another body this morning.

The story tips back and forth between the current day’s death, the death fourteen years ago, and the 1860’s gold rush.

Were they both accidents?

Were they both murders?

Who would kill for a Heathcote Shiraz?

With Colin King’s permission, Synchronicity has adapted his brilliant first novel into an exciting stage play.

The world premier is in August 2024 at The Engine Room.
