Re: Two Cars Driving round Cecil Street, Henry and Kashmir

Carol from Clouston Park - Kingsley Heights

Not sure if anyone else is noticing this but I have seen 2 cars driving round and round our area, looking down driveways.

One is a black BMW and the other a red car. A neighbour of ours had something stolen from their garage, so have been a little more vigilant than usual. I work from … View more
Hi all,

Not sure if anyone else is noticing this but I have seen 2 cars driving round and round our area, looking down driveways.

One is a black BMW and the other a red car. A neighbour of ours had something stolen from their garage, so have been a little more vigilant than usual. I work from home so this sort of activity is noticeably unusual and the cars are not cars usually seen in our area.

Is anyone else noticing anything like this?

Cheers neighbours

Welcome to the Murder House, a deliciously dark comedy with bite sees a gang of death-row convicts set free from Auburn Prison for one wild night to tell the tragic tale of their hero, the man who invented the electric chair.

Based on a true story, the play speaks of a divided world where faith is more powerful than fact and shame drives a hard bargain. The fictional injection of real Indian scientist Chandra Bose, whose world-leading research into electricity was ahead of its time, gives an Indian Ink twist to the telling. Welcome to the Murder House features comedy, puppetry, live music, song and dance to entertain and delight whilst recounting a powerful, tragic and moving tale.

Jacob Rajan returns to the stage with a stellar cast, in Indian Ink’s biggest ever extravaganza. Experience a night of naughty fun that will leave you to decide who the real villains are.

26 May – 10 June
