Vibes were high at Theatre Works last night, as the opening night crowd flocked in to see SAVAGES, Patricia Cornelius' exposing indictment of male privilege and violence, told as it never has been before by director Kitan Petkovski.

SAVAGES plays again tonight, before heading into its final week of performances. Don't miss this unforgettable show!

Tickets available via the links in our bio.

REVIEW | The clown gag inside the horror: Marginalia

Funny, disturbing and increasingly unhinged, Pummel Squad’s Marginalia hurtles through grotesque clowning, political satire and the heady logic of better to laugh than cry.

Beneath the farce, something more painful accumulates: a world in which everyone needs help, power remains insulated from its consequences, and even revolution is vulnerable to vanity, spectacle and self-interest.

And still, Marginalia is very, very funny.

“Watching Pummel Squad dance along that edge is electric.”

Marginalia plays at fortyfivedownstairs until Sunday 16 August.
