Theatre Works: The Deplorables
20 August @ 7:30 pm AEST

If they’re playing cricket, who is making the sandwiches?
Written by Christine Davey and presented by award-winning regional theatre company – Skin of our Teeth Productions – this joyous, musical explores the first women’s cricket match in the country and what it means for all of us.
A sharp, funny, and deeply human new work, THE DEPLORABLES turns the spotlight onto quiet rebellions, everyday courage, and the unexpected power of women who decide enough is enough.
Blending physical theatre, striking choral movement, this is a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the extremely ordinary men who tried to stop them.
