Cobra
"The Snake Bites Back"
BACK! In spite of popular demand. Skin has been shed, egos scraped up off the bar-room floor. Antidotes are close at hand, courage is mustered and loins are girded. A disparate and desperate crew of a slightly curdled crème de la crème of Adelaide musicians prepare to tackle the beast: that is the celebrated John Zorn game-piece COBRA. Wits are pitted like dried prunes against the prompter and concertmaster Mr Stephen Whittington, rules of engagement are enforced, broken and in some cases completely ignored. The musical results range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
