Netgirlz
 

NETGIRLZ is new Australian anti-theatre like nothing you’ve clicked on before. Rip that sticker off your webcam and take a peek deep inside the void. The internet would never do anything to hurt you... right?

NETGIRLZ is a low-res mashup of all your favourite internet tricks and tropes. An experimental new comedy by Georgie Adamson (Whose Uterus is it Anyway) and directed by Mikaela Atallah (The Damsels Destress, A Period Piece) exploring the blind trust we put into a beast we can’t control... The World Wide Web. Through an anti- linear, episodic narrative, NETGIRLZ asks all the important questions: What do we do when we catch a catfish? How far can we take fan-fic? And who the F**K is MoMo?

Starring Madelaine Osborn, Jessica Murphy and Sammy Taylor.

Mikaela Says

‘We wanted to make this work because we’re scared of the internet! It’s something we’ve trusted with our entire lives, but we don’t know what it’s going to do next!’

Royalty Free Theatre is a collective dedicated to deconstructing the hierarchy of our arts culture and practice, aiming to make works that challenge theatre protocol (a.k.a, they’re f**king weird, yo!) They’re coming off the back of two successful seasons of NETGIRLZ v.1 (107 Redfern, 2018) and Agent Showcase (Sydney Fringe, 2018). They also produce Holiday Specials, artist scratch nights at 107 Redfern.

NETGIRLZ is being presented as part of FreshWorks Femme at the Old 505, a festival of fierce, incredible theatre-makers and performers.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
