SUMMARY:Scrag X CANCELLED X
DESCRIPTION:A writer sits at her desk…procrastinating. She’s trying to write a script\, or maybe it’s a screenplay? A book? An unhinged text message to her Dramaturg? \nEnter Scrag\, her main character—loud\, unpredictable and a work in progress. She’s not afraid to bite the hand that writes her. What begins as a light hearted romp through childhood space-themed fairy parties\, job loss and (not) alien smut—quickly unravels. The Dramaturg questions the structure\, especially the Sci-Fi elements (it’s not smut!) and the Writer refuses to delve into a scene she’s too afraid to face. \nA party. A brightly lit kitchen. A Dude-Bro. \nScrag pushes the Writer to confront a sexual assault and explore the line between humour and catharsis\, the chaos of healing and the failures of our justice system. The Writer discovers that storytelling isn’t just about shaping narratives—it’s about facing yourself. \nBut\, like\, totally in a fun way. \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show after 10 minutes which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Sexual References\, Sexual violence\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available

With a hapless dating history and a gnawing sense of internal emptiness\, Beccy descends into the depths of the dump and into herself to explore what happens when we begin to feel like the disposable items that have infiltrated our modern lives.\nSMOKO\, directed by Betty Sweetlove and Ruby Conolan Barrett\, is a hilarious\, heartfelt exploration of how we treat each other—and ourselves—in a world obsessed with stuff. Jasmine Story’s sharp writing and fearless performance promise a night of laughter\, realness\, and maybe a little catharsis. \n\n‘Rich in symbolism and pulling every theatre trick out of their dump truck\, it’s a holistic reminder of theatre’s capability to transport you to another world without being limited by the size of the room. This show will make you laugh and wonder why you don’t get to the theatre more often.’ – Jay Darroch\, Magazine6000\, Perth. \n‘A unique concept that draws light on mental health issues\, queer exploration and sexism while also celebrating the unpolished Aussie lifestyle’ – Glam Adelaide. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Illicit drug use\, Sexual References\, Smoke or haze\, Strong Language \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Spiers: Oops!.. I Boxed It Again.
DESCRIPTION:Stuck overseas? What’s the craziest idea you’ve had to save a buck? Mail yourself home? \n‘Spiers: Oops!.. I Boxed It Again’ is a musical parody inspired by the life events of Reg Spiers\, presented by experimental theatre group Top Goose Company. We follow the saga of Australian wannabe-Olympian who mailed himself from England to Australia and became a folk hero. Never short of ideas\, Spiers also landed himself on death row in Sri Lanka for drug dealing and was granted bail in Australia due to having a pre-paid holiday. \nTo adequately dramatise this epic tale\, our production features parodies of Britney Spears’ back catalogue! \nTop Goose Company was formed by Darwin-based talents Neža Strenčan and Harley Mason\, who have written and will perform this production. \nThis is a truly legendary story of ingenuity and larrkinism deservant of a national holiday. See what it’s about\, before the post goes out! \nPRODUCTION NOTES\n There is a lockout for this show after 5 minutes which means you will not be aloud to enter or given a refund if you are late. \nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Illicit drug use\, Smoke or haze\, Strobing \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
