To Die Will Be An Awfully Big Adventure
 

The Midnight Horrors X The Peter Pans (Barrie, Disney, Mary Martin's made-for-TV movie, et al).

A DIY bedtime thriller. A pirated reproduction of Peter Pan/s (1904-2023). A lawless inventory of regression. Using pulleys, wire, Happy Thoughts™, and wrapped in gold foil emergency blankets the performers repurpose scenes, chapters, and a memory of an island that doesn't exist.



TO DIE... is a unique collaboration between The Midnight Horrors with: cult performers, an animator, an academic, a fashion designer, writers, musicians, climate activists, outlaws, outcasts, unrecognised geniuses, and bullshit artists.

The Play That Wouldn't Grow Up includes postmodernism / postdramatics / surrealism / pastiche / riot grrl / zine culture / punk / anticapitalism / antifascism / anarchy / counter culture / a crocodile / or a dog / climate action / contemporary theatre / live theatre / satire / apocalyptics / hysterics / ironic / heresy / heroism / trouble

    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.
