Death Throes

Post truth. Post fact. Post power. Death Throes might also be described as ‘Post Theatre”. Described as a ‘perverse performance party inside the void”, Death Throes is a non-narrative exploration for those looking for something different.

Written, directed and performed by Julia Croft, Harriet Gillies and Joe Lui, it features some really amazing and different lighting and sound.

No doubting the dedication and hard work of these actors, who, in one section of the production, run for what feels like 12 or more minutes. There is a great anecdote from Harriet, about playing First Triangle in the orchestra, and some interesting consumption of KFC. Oh and there’s merchandise!

Really only for those who love the gritty and different.
