“Never a dull moment... sensationally absurd, and highly recommended” – Theatre Haus

A polyamorous threesome née foursome descends into madness and accusation when the ghost of their fourth lover returns to haunt them – how fun!

'Slippery' is on tour from Meanjin for Midsumma Festival 2024, playing four shows Downstairs at The Butterfly Club! Winner of the Wynnum Fringe Festival 2022 'Local Legends' award, this is an unmissable show filled with huge laughs and tiny tears!

A four-way polyamorous love square is shattered into a jarring triangle when one of the lovers returns as a ghost and declares that they have been murdered!

Who amongst them has committed this terrible crime?!

The mansion is boarded shut; the endlessly raining world outside is innocent; it has certainly come from within...

Will Moon Junes, Silly Goose and Puke ever discover the truth of who killed Fredenharry?

Betrayal, ecstasy, plague, flood and war – this is four-way love and death... this is Slippery!

Written and Directed by Esther Dougherty

Siobhan Gibbs as Moon Junes

"Slippery embodies what independent theatre is all about – unapologetic rage, unapologetic joy, and an unapologetic sense of fun."

"Never a dull moment... sensationally absurd, and highly recommended"
