MOTOR-MOUTH LOVE SUCK-FACE Set To Make Melbourne Debut

By:

Shut up and listen. In exactly ten minutes and fifty-three seconds the world is going to end. But that's not important right now...

Welcome to the party to end all parties on the last night of the world. #Armageddon. #Zombies. Existential teenage passion and virgin-geeks - where the only way to escape annihilation is through a cosmic wormhole that leads to another dimension. Get transported to another world with Motor-mouth Loves Suck-Face on at Chapel Off Chapel 6-23 October.

Presented by Anthony Crowley, Motor-mouth Loves Suck-Face is an apocalyptic musical comedy about a planet on The Edge, complete with a pop-rock score ("Suck My Armageddon", " I Want to Taste Your Fish Paste") and a thumping Bollywood diversion because, well, how else do you distract a mob of brain dead zombies?

With all the ingredients of a cult show, Artistic Director, Writer and Producer Ant Crowley creates a stage world where the dramatic stakes are high - life and death high - the energy is electric, the characters idiosyncratic, and the consequences comedically dire. It's an Australian story about universal themes of love, heart-break, hope and escape and the 21st century pop culture fascination with the end of the world.

Wrapped in a glittering party atmosphere, Motor-mouth Loves Suck-Face makes its Melbourne debut with an energetic night at the theatre that is bursting at the seams. For more info visit www.motormouthlovessuckface.com.au.
