New South Wales, 1790. Britain's nascent colony is starving while aboriginal resistance simmers in the background. Three convicts venture into the forest, conspiring to commit heinous murder in the hope of a reward. But as they become lost, it's clear they are ensnared in a nightmare of their own making...
Actor and writer Paul Case's nightmarish solo horror theatre piece explores the intersection of class, race and sexuality during the violent beginnings of Australian history.
'An evocative and bloodily marvellous new piece of theatre' ★★★★ (BritishTheatreGuide.info)
'Atmosphere in spades. Exceptional storytelling' ★★★★ (TheQR.co.uk)
'Absolutely gripping. Mesmerising' (ThreeWeeksEdinburgh.com)
'A command that's hard to beat. A darkness all its own' - ★★★★ (Scotsman)
