In a sleepy town a father makes one small decision that changes everything.
A Rose Among Horns is a comedy of games, risks and the archaic notion of Prince Charming in a world where chivalry is dead and even the men want to be rescued.
This comedic drama is evocative and abrasive. It is about gambling on the prospect of love, when falling for lust and deception are just as alluring. An immersive experience that entices the audience into a loud and debauched night of fun, love and complex relationships.

“Despite it being a one-woman show, we are introduced to a handful of stars, each who manages to convey a rich story of themselves as people, and their relationships with
all of the other characters”

“Wow – original, witty and hilarious. I was completely involved in Cindy’s story and I felt for her, surrounded by such brilliantly conceived characters. I don’t know how I’d choose either”
– Jess Webb (Audience)
“Devised and performed by Genevieve Butler, A Rose Among Horns draws you into the realm of a cosy small town before thrusting you into an almost speed-dating experience as you follow a whirlwind of characters scattered along a young woman’s journey into the jaws of love and lust. This one-woman performance sees Butler seamlessly transition from the rambunctious Punch and Bricko to wistful and alluring Cindy, just a few of the characters that bring both hilarious and cringe worthy moments forward, a tale that hits far too close to home.”
– Bri Zammit (Producer- Crack Theatre Festival).
“Butler is satisfyingly confronting and more than watchable.”
– Planet Clarence (Audience)

-Brigid Mary Prain (Audience)
