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.

    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.

    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.

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