Join our motley crew as they venture out into the ether where flight attendant Angel must face off with the greatest man of all time in a battle for the ultimate prize.
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+.
The Age ★★★★

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