Event Series: BATSHIT

Quiet Riot: BATSHIT

28 May @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm AEST

BATSHIT is a wildly theatrical, darkly comic, and deeply intimate reckoning with the myths and misconceptions of female madness.

A requiem for Leah’s grandmother Gwen, who was incarcerated for seeking independence in 1960s Australia, BATSHIT draws on personal stories, in-depth research and pop culture to unpack how psychiatry has long been shaped by gender bias — past and present.

Created by Leah Shelton and directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez (UK), this one-woman tour-de-force tears apart the labels used to control and undermine women through razor-sharp wit, raw storytelling, and unflinching performance.
