| Other Gods (Melbourne Fringe Festival) | |||
An enchanting tale of devotion, defiance and magic - bringing fantasy romance to the stage Other Gods is set in a vibrant fantasy world where the ten gods are almost impossible to deny. We meet Brodselo’s priest, Tom, in a time where many are questioning whether the church truly knows what the Ten desire… especially the woman he’s falling for (despite his vow of celibacy), Marina. Everything comes to a head when a young woman in town is accused of using magic - the one thing the gods are said to abhor above all else. Tom is faced with a decision that will test his relationship with Marina, and stretch his loyalties and his own sense of self to breaking point. Witchcraft, star-crossed lovers, hope, betrayal and a world steeped in lore. Fans of The Princess Bride, Shadow and Bone, Shadowhunters and anything else with shadow in the title will love this show. Part romance, part fantasy, part political drama, this play uses an unusual setting to consider questions that are piercingly relevant to us today. After sold out seasons of The Coven and The Nun and the Highwayman, you won’t want to miss Farley’s latest foray into their enchanting fantasy world.
