ENTER OPHELIA Opens in Melbourne Next Month
A near drowned damsel steps into the spotlight - a gothic black comedy about secrets, madness and mansplaining. The time could not be more apt. As women across the globe stand up and find their voice, have their stories told and exposed, Essential Theatre and Three Birds Theatre take great pride in announcing the premiere season of 'Enter Ophelia'.
In a world of mad men and murdering uncles, drowning never felt so good. A woman wanders an empty castle, clutching rotting flowers - told what to do, where to stand, what to think. No one really listens to her, no one really sees her. 'Enter Ophelia' is a darkly funny gothic riff imagining a vastly different future for our drowned damsel.
Two of Melbourne's most exciting indie theatre companies Essential Theatre and Three Birds Theatre come together for the first time to present this thrilling new exploration of femininity, isolation and silliness.
