What's On

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.

TO DIE WILL BE AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE A.K.A. 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

    Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    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.

    At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.

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