Lily Fish Theatre: Rakali
11 June @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Shapeshifting water rat wants to eat a baby…
Rakali is an award winning horror-black comedy from the team behind Robert the Octopus.
A millennial couple move from Melbourne to a houseboat in a remote part of Tasmania with their newborn. They think they’ve found paradise. But life in the sticks is less than idyllic. One night, a water rat crawls aboard and transforms into a human. He wants to steal and eat their baby.
Returning after a sold out debut season, winner “Best Performer” (Green Room Awards) and nominated “Best Theatre” (Melbourne Fringe), Rakali is a twisted and hilarious new work of Australian Gothic theatre.
