What's On

Sabotage
 

Welcome to the layover from hell.

 

The Protagonist is ready to board a one-way flight to destination unknown, but a series of delays delivers an unexpected passenger, the Antagonist, his older, more accomplished self. What begins as a reunion quickly spirals into a surreal showdown: who really knows who best, and who gets to move forward?

 

Part Waiting for Godot, part Looper, if they were bisexual men stuck in Tullamarine, the Protagonist and Antagonist are stranded at Melbourne’s premier airport with emotional baggage to burn.

 

A tender battleground of ego, regret and missed connections, Sabotage skewers ambition and holds self-love under siege in a wry take on the quarter-life crisis. Because when you’re boarding a flight to nowhere, all runways lead back to you.

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
