What's On

SLAY (directed by Steph Lee)
 

It starts with an eerie disappearance…

What follows is a political horror comedy where the four lesbians that are blamed for the sudden disappearance one by one meet gruesome fates. Can one of them survive to set the record straight?

SLAY is a devised theatrical work that explores representation of queer women from a group of emerging artists interested in using queer theatre to upend the status quo. This is a work that hits the audience like a tonne of bricks, moving at the pace we are now accustomed to consuming media. Through the lens of horror, the work examines the frightening rise in polarisation and it asks audiences what distinguishes truth from fiction in our ever growing online world?

SLAY will shock, surprise and scare, taking inspiration from campy horror that has come before it.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • 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.
