But what will she have to sacrifice to survive?

Returning to Melbourne after a smash hit premiere season at YIRRAMBOI Festival, A Nightime Travesty is an absurd new play unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This daring performance bursts with Blak humour, romance, live music and gruesome decapitations.

Note: This production contains nudity, adult concepts, frequent coarse language, smoke effects, strobe lighting and loud sounds. Recommended for audiences 18+.

"This genre-defying satire furiously dismantles life-denying forces at work in Australian culture. Patriarchy, colonial genocide and stolen generations, white supremacy and white guilt, want on environmental destruction – not to mention the sins and inequities of the theatre world. You name it, the show eviscerates it."
