Werewolf | Melbourne Fringe

In 'Werewolf', modern extremism and old Hollywood horror collide.A fascist speaking tour is arriving in Melbourne, and while government and media figures struggle to understand its impact, local radicals from the hard left and far right prepare for a bloody confrontation with excitement.As tensions build and violence looms, the line between who people are and who they pretend to be becomes blurred, leading to monstrous transformations.With twists, shocks and 80s horror film tropes, 'Werewolf' is both darkly funny stage noir and serious social commentary on the new clash between old extremes. Werewolf Cast: Ben Walter, Alexandra Aldrich, Simon Corfield, James O'Connell, Michelle Perera Creatives:Associate Director: Marni Mount Set and Costume Design: Harry GillLighting Design: Sidney Younger Sound Design: Daniel Nixon Stage Manager: Genevieve Davidson This theatre work is developed and presented in collaboration with Arts Centre Melbourne and Melbourne Fringe.

FIRST REVIEW of my “Werewolf” at Arts Centre Melbourne at ITellYouWhatIThink and it is A CORKER. SO glad to see our incredible design team (Harry Gill, Sidney Younger & Daniel Nixon) get credit they deserve. “Bombastic and loud and revolutionary!” “a howling success!” COME!!
My new show Werewolf starts its run tonight at Arts Centre Melb for Melbourne Fringe and I am excited and terrified, bloody buy a ticket and come, #auspol. It’s me picking fights with extremists. Again. Tix via my Linktree in bio.
Next time someone’s trying to tell you how left-wing the are by supporting Jill Stein, remind them who their comrades are.

My new play “Werewolf” starts its run at Arts Centre Melbourne on Wednesday. It’s brutal. It’s dark. It’s a toxic sneer and a black laugh.

I have loved every minute of making this show. Come: https://melbournefringe.com.au/event/werewolf/
