THE DEADLY CLUB is a new work I have dreaming up with @digiyoutharts where we take theatre to community.

shows and details below, and ticket details over on DYA’s socials:

Wed 28 Jan @inala_wangarra 4pm
Thurs 29 January @thejnoosa with @munimba_ja 4.30pm
Sat 31 Jan and Sun 1 Feb @backdockarts

The Deadly Club is a fast, fierce, and heartfelt play set in 1997, centring three Blak teens who carry far more responsibility than most people ever see. Confident, stylish, and sharp as hell, Courtney, Mariah, and Jordan know exactly who they are — until the ground beneath them begins to shift.

As their final gathering of the year unfolds, the balance between holding it together and letting it go begins to change.

Bold, playful, and quietly devastating, The Deadly Club celebrates Blak joy, resilience, and the strength found in shared care — reminding us that some stories don’t give answers, they give us back to ourselves. by @aletheabeetson
