“Surprising and compelling…it raises profound ontological questions” [Raimondo Cortese]
“So shocking, so relatable and so powerful” [Farrago magazine]

Award-winning independent theatre company, Wit Incorporated, announce their next Melbourne season, directed by Ruby Rees (Punk Rock)

Bleached speculates on a future where the climate crisis has become so catastrophic that nations are closing their borders, one by one. Australian tourists crawl the globe, “like cockroaches”, consuming all it has to offer, before it is locked down forever; a last-ditch universal effort to fight the climate crisis.

“My intention in writing Bleached was to explore our responses to environmental guilt. By portraying a dark vision of the future, where nations and individuals have cut themselves off from the rest of the world and are plunged into a never-ending lockdown, I want to inspire proactive action, and shake a progressive audience out of its collective apathy and moral paralysis.” Melbourne playwright, Laura Collins.

Wit Incorporated commits to bringing high-quality theatre to Melbourne’s West.
