SUMMARY:Hour of the Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Building on the landmark success of Because The Night (2021)\, Malthouse Theatre ambitiously realises Australia’s next chapter of large-scale immersive theatre. Hour of the Wolf introduces you to Hope Hill\, a town that is yours to freely explore on the longest night of the year. Interweaving stories unravel the disturbing disappearances occurring between the hours of 3am and 4am. Choose which of the ten characters to follow\, pick left or right at the end of every scene\, and trace this night from different points of view. \nEveryone has their own truth in Hope Hill. \nImmerse in the stories and indulge your curiosity by venturing off the path to solve side quests that unearth the history of the town—it might take you one step closer to meeting the myth herself. \nUnlock the Hour of the Wolf.

SUMMARY:Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
DESCRIPTION:Edward Albee’s classic slugfest Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf\, at least on the surface\, is an ode to the heartbreak of middle age\, a vicious dissection of a marriage straining under the cumulative rage and disappointments of many years.\nWhen it burst on to the stage in 1962 it tapped into a growing unease about notions of decency and respectability\, with a brutality and sustained menace that tore through the anxieties of the age. The play’s ritualised deconstruction of marriage\, gender\, sexuality and ambition still ring true to this day.\nYet\, Albee’s characters also tell a love story: a story of shared acceptance of an inescapable fate. The inertia and grotesque irony of Martha and George’s romance is served up to their unwitting guests as a taste of the humiliations and the inevitable compromises to come.

SUMMARY:Chase
DESCRIPTION:Meet Chase. She’s living her best life. Just a shame there’s no one left to see it. \nCompelling\, repelling\, and funny. Joined by her zany crew of besties and YouTube subscribers for company\, at the party to end all parties. The party to end the world! That’s if any of them actually even exist… \nEqually offensive and endearing to theatregoers from every walk of life\, Carly Sheppard has been developing and performing the character of Chase for nearly a decade. Now she joins forces with Kamarra Bell-Wykes (A DAYLIGHT CONNECTION) to deliver the most over-the-top\, cracked version  yet! \nIf only she understood half of what she helps others discover. \nMeet Chase. You just might see yourself.

SUMMARY:Vampire Lesbians of Sodom
DESCRIPTION:One of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history\, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom by Charles Busch tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses whose paths first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry as bloodsuckers\, but more importantly\, as actresses\, endures for two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920’s silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas. Vampire Lesbians of Sodom is a demented tribute to horror cinema and divas of the Golden Age. A cult camp classic comedy in the same vein as Elvira Mistress of the Dark and Death Becomes Her. \nWith a cast of Melbourne’s finest\, including Jennifer Vuletic (Wentworth\, Looking for Alibrandi)\, Artemis Ioannides (Wentworth\, Because the Night)\, Zoe Boesen (Abigail’s Party)\, Brigid Gallacher (In The Club)\, and John Marc Desengano (Looking for Alibrandi)\, this is Little Ones Theatre’s final celebration of all things ridiculous. \nIt’s time to laugh and get your fangs out.

SUMMARY:The Odd Couple (female version)
DESCRIPTION:Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play\, The Odd Couple\, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues\, Florence arrives\, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might attempt suicide\, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However\, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy\, untidy\, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment\, Florence is obsessively clean\, tidy\, and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies\, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers\, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.

SUMMARY:MARIEDL\, Selfies with a Giantess
DESCRIPTION:Maria Fassnauer\, known as ‘Mariedl\, the Tyrolean Giantess’ was born 1879 to an extremely poor farming family in Tyrol\, Austria\, and died there 38 years later. But those simple dates bookend an extraordinary life. Her fame spread from the small village out into the wider world.  Inevitably people came calling\, including a man who was to become her manager. Together with her sister Rosa\, she spent six years crossing Europe to be exhibited in theatres.  Including at the World Fair in Brussels\, in many a German panoptikum.  She then crossed to England where she spent a year at the Hippodromes in London and Manchester. It was here that Clive Darril from Wagga Wagga\, Australia\, caught up with her.  Clive made his infamous marriage proposal in front of the press\, which she turned down. She had sponsorship deals\, met royalty\, made a huge sum of money which she gave to her parents and a variety of charities.  Behind it all was a shy religious woman who had to work hard\, standing for hours in position and then selling postcards of herself. \nMARIEDL\, Selfies with a Giantess closes 2 December.
