Soft Shock Productions Presents…Broke Down Music Box: a 9-day festival of live performance and music.

Over nine glorious nights, a tribe of wild, sexy, and anarchic creatives are taking over Sydney's beloved inner-west sanctum The Flight Path Theatre to invite all who dare to dream of a love-in of music, theatre, and punk-rock revelry.

Each night will begin with a performance of the one-act play, Cowboy Mouth, the surreal, fevered real-life love story penned by famed playwright Sam Shepard (True West, Buried Child) and rock icon Patti Smith.

Conceived on a typewriter in the chaotic infamy of New York's Chelsea Hotel, Cowboy Mouth, is an urban fable about a woman who kidnaps a young man at gunpoint, taking him hostage from his wife and child to make him a pop prophet, ''like a rock-and-roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth.' Cowboy Mouth is an exhilarating and poetic gunfight of a play crafted as a cautionary tale about using art as deliverance from our flaws and relating to someone's potential instead of who they are.

'a sizzling, surrealistic 70 minutes' - New York Times

'weird, wild and rather wonderful' - Guardian

Following each performance of Cowboy Mouth the space will shift from gritty and dangerous indie theatre to a riotous evening of live music with sets from some of Sydney's most exciting live bands including, Dande and The Lion, Georgie Jones, Locked in Lummo, The Polymics, Stitcher, Elysae.
