Banging Denmark

By VAN BADHAM

From the pen of Australian playwright and social commentator Van Badham comes this hilariously explicit new comedy. Banging Denmark is a swinging satire on the men who claim to understand the ‘female mind’ and the online culture that inspires them.


Ish Madigan is a feminist academic writing a thesis on computer games. Jake Newhouse is a full-time management consultant and part-time pickup artist.


When Jake’s latest crush – a brilliant Danish librarian – doesn’t respond to his usual seduction techniques, he knows he needs help. Jake asks Ish to coach him in feminist-friendly flirtation. He’ll pay. And Ish needs the money.


So, what’s stopping her? Oh, you know, just ethics, morals and every fibre of her being.


Coming Soon.

In Heiner Müller's "Hamletmachine," the boundaries of conventional theatre dissolve, giving way to a contemplative exploration of the human experience.


Inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, this play unfolds as a mosaic of disjointed narratives, immersing the audience in a world of political unrest, existential questioning, and the cyclical rhythms of history.


"Hamletmachine" offers a subdued yet intellectually engaging experience, encouraging audiences to ponder the intricacies of life long after the final curtain falls.


Coming Soon.

JUlius CAESAR

A Shakespeare Retelling

“This one time in highschool, my best friend stabbed someone with a fork”


Personal annecdotes such as these inspired a 3 year long project, fusing the classic play with the lived experience of 6 former students of elite private schools.


A charismatic teen ascends to head girl, triggering a chain of events that will test the bonds of friendship and loyalty. The cohort of ambitious and calculating peers navigate the complexities of adolescent politics, questioning the values that bind them.


Julius Caesar explores the consequences of unchecked ambition, the fragility of teenage alliances, and just straight up bitches.


Coming soon.
