Vespertilio by Barry McStay
Image: by Cameron Grant
Inspired by the incredible true story
Alan is on the hunt to find the last greater mouse-eared bat living in Britain, but a tender romance with Josh, the charming young runaway he meets in an abandoned railway tunnel, begins to divert him from his mission. As their relationship develops, these two damaged men might fix one another. If only a little.
Alec Gilbert and Ozzy Breen-Carr bring this Australian premiere of love, loneliness and bats to the stage. Vespertilio by Barry McStay is a haunting exploration of the difference between merely surviving and truly living.
"McStay has crafted an ingenious and deeply moving storyline of two people who, like the bat, have family somewhere, from whom they have become detached."
