The Blue Room Theatre: The State

22 May @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm AEST

Look at the state of this place!

Four states are lorded over by foppish drag-king Daddies, all under the thumb of an elusive and shadowy figure known as Mummy.

Democracy is falling apart at the seams.

A series of increasingly absurd catastrophes launches young rebel Flung on a nationwide quest to make change. Desperate to find some like-minded agitators, he stumbles upon a group of radicals called the Common Dog Fucks (CDF). In the face of overlord Mummy and her ruling Daddies’ political havoc, Flung and the CDF must get revolutionary to save their nation.

The State is a visually arresting, provocative adventure into the bowels of Australian politics. Phallic puppetry, glorious drag, and biting comedy sees the state of our nation dissected like never before.
