David Hawkins in "Nom de Plume" at the Famouse Spiegeltent.

"Singer and Dynamo" - Sydney Morning Herald

David Hawkins will be performing his critically acclaimed one man show "Nom De Plume" for the final time in Sydney at The Famous Spiegeltent on Sunday, December 7 at 9:30pm.

David will take Sydney audiences on a flight like no other, and he has some juicy prey!

Everyone from Maxwell Demon, solicitors, prostitutes to celebrity! This is no normal cabaret - in fact it is true Kabarett. No one is safe in this high-powered, non-stop journey with music and dialogue written by Wednesday Kennedy and David Hawkins. It's a Kabarett through the eyes of two Sydney-siders - A cabaret with a BENT!

Accompanied by his three-piece band The Kestrels under the musical direction of Andrew Worboys, The Hawk's wild flight spans the music of Weill and Brecht, through to the dark strains of Melanie Safka, Joni Mitchell, The Kinks, Lou Reed and David Bowie. Expect a showtune or two, but don't get too comfortable!

David recently finished the National tour of SHOUT, playing the role of notorious Sydney promoter Lee Gordon.

He recently opened his hot new live venue in Kings Cross, Kabarett Voltaire, and previously ran two successful cabaret venues in Sydney: The Kirk and Kabarett Junction.

David has worked with some of Australia's best directors including Jim Sharman, Baz Luhrmann and Ross Coleman and performed with such companies as Opera Australia, The Sydney Theatre Company and Jacobsen Entertainment Limited.

Nom De Plume plays at The Famous Spiegeltent - Art Gallery Road, The Domain - on Sunday, December 7 at 9:30pm. Tickets are $25 (includes GST and booking fee) and can be booked through Ticketmaster7 on 1 300 136 166, www.ticketmaster7.com or any outlet.

Written by Wednesday Kennedy and David Hawkins

"Big, lustrous voice and brooding intensity ... the way the material fitted together was fastidiously sculpted by Hawkins and his writing collaborator, Wednesday Kennedy." - John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

"A lament for the loss of what was unique and genuine qualities in society and a critique of the synthetic values that have taken their place ..... musical entertainment of the highest order" - David Schwartz, New York Cabaret Online
