Articulate at The Motley Wherehaus

Winner Best Theatre Weekly Award 2025 Perth FRINGE WORLD 

What happens when two overly interconnected share houses go head-to-head in a highly anticipated board game showdown?

It’s that time of year again, Bourke Street versus Vine Street in a game of ARTICULATE, an annual tradition steeped in history for this seemingly close-knit circle of friends. Six young adults with a myriad of quirks and unique personality traits make them either the perfect team-mate or a recipe for disaster, and hilarity ensues!  But this year is a little different – simmering under the surface are tensions, unresolved conflicts and hardcore competitiveness. When the chips are down and victory is within reach, everyone will do whatever it takes to win. What will be revealed?

Straight off a season of sold out shows at Edinburgh Fringe!

'Universal appeal, audiences of all ages will absolutely find something to enjoy.' Creative Reviews (UK)

'A light-hearted but earnest dive into navigating relationships in your formative years.' The Student News (UK)

'The actors artfully sell their characters, and real credit must be given to the direction, which truly shines for its creative use of space and dynamic physicality.' EdFringe Review
