RAIN - A brand new Australian musical theatre show for right now.

THURSDAY 29 JULY to SUNDAY 8 AUGUST
Wednesday to Sunday 8pm
also Saturday and Sunday 5pm
New Ballroom, Trades Hall
Corner Victoria St and Lygon St, Carlton


What if the women of Australia went on strike to protest climate change?
What if the ‘zero emissions’ strike meant the women would not sleep with their blokes?
What if the blokes didn’t ‘give a rats’?

Australia needs RAIN - an outrageous Grecian take on Australian politics. Starring entirely fictional characterisations of Julia, Kevin and Therese, elected (and unelected) leaders get the Olympus treatment as women attempt to use sex as currency in a warming world full of internet porn.

RAIN is biting political satire inspired by Aristophanes’ Lysistrata. Directed by Jonathan Mill. Music Supervision/Direction by Stephen Gray. Featuring Karen Van Spall, Meredith O’Reilly, Anton Berezin, Vivien Davies, Amanda Levy and Josie Lane.
