Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat: The Crying Room
14 November @ 6:00 pm - 7:20 pm AEDT

The Crying Room is a show inspired by the small, soundproof chambers tucked at the back of theatre auditoriums. As the name suggests, a crying room is a place where you can go if you are crying so as not to disturb the audience. But what if it was actually a site dedicated to emotional extraction? A place not to conceal tears, but to invoke them?
Funny, eerie, and quietly devastating – this multi award winning performance mixes storytelling, ritual and the uncanny as Marcus scours infinite planes in search of his lost brother.
