Well, the climate collapse we’ve all been waiting for has finally happened! But there’s no need to be glum because in the centre of the Deadlands is a happy little place called Haven!

Join your puppet friends Glorbo, Titzi, Blurkina and Shnerk as they teach you how to survive in this brave new world using songs, craft and a can-do spirit, all under the watchful eye of Miss Melissa! And they’re not going to let something so silly as unsolved murders, surprise pregnancies and existential despair stop the party!

A spiritual sequel to the smash hit U.B.U: A Cautionary Tale of Catastrophe, APOCKA-WOCKA-LOCKALYPSE: Adventures in the Deadlands will make you laugh all your sads away! Or else!!

3 actors. 1 stage. 2 words. William Shakespeare. It’s not easy being an indie theatre actor in Sydney. You’ve got to be good. Prove yourself. And what better way to do it, than to do perform Shakespeare? Not just any Shakespeare. All of Shakespeare. And just to really drive the point home, you’re going to do it in under 90 minutes. How hard could it be?

No matter the consequences, we all deserve the right to choose. When a woman who refuses to change to fit society’s idea of a “successful woman” comes face to face with the love she left behind, she is forced to confront the choices she has made to have the life of her dreams.

This tense and timely two-hander from Lana Filies lays out the harsh realities women face when they must choose between their dreams and everyone else’s. Exploring what it means to be a woman living in a world post the overturning of Roe v Wade, Expiration Date is powerful feminist theatre with emotional heart.
