What's On

Selkie
 

Nearly one Australian woman is killed each week. One in four Australian women have experienced emotional abuse. One in six have experienced physical or sexual violence.

Selkie is a gripping two-hander that reimagines an ancient Celtic myth through a feminist, contemporary lens. At once lyrical and brutal, it examines consent, ownership, and the suffocating weight of assimilation. Both domestic love story and allegory of oppression, the play pulls audiences into a claustrophobic world where safety and freedom are in constant tension.

Blending myth, dark humour, and raw intimacy, Selkie resonates with urgent relevance. It speaks to anyone who has felt trapped, silenced, or othered, holding up a mirror to the ways we repress, exploit, and cage those we claim to love.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.

    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.
