‘Theatrical Saboteurs’ Doppelgangster (UK/Aus) bring their latest, miraculous work about living in dark times, violence, and disorder.

A duel is taking place. St Kilda is now the fictional medieval town of Cross Roads. UK/Australian theatre company Doppelgangster invite audiences to select a character and face-off in two rough grandstands as Theatre Works transforms into a deadly jousting arena. Arrows whiz through the theatre, actors climb a siege tower, crash through castle walls, and attempt the dark art of necromancy. This spectacular show is part anticomedy, part historical folk-horror, part psychedelic ritual, and impossibly a live RPG videogame walk-through guide.

The Anarchy (1138-53) is Part One of a 15hr Trilogy that takes inspiration from the darkest of the dark ages - so saddle up a hobby horse and gallop down the dangerous paths of past works (Puntila/Matti, Cold War, Everybody Loses) which have generated walkouts, physical fights, and cancellations, along with cult followings and critical acclaim.

Death is certain. Tickets are limited.
