Year One Wrap-up

Oily Rag Theatre are done and dusted for 2018. Given that we currently aspire to undertaking only one full production per year, we definitely hit our first year's goals with our premiere production of dark drama Wolf Lullaby followed by a slightly impromptu two-performance season of the absurdist comedy Matt & Ben.

Next up is our Adelaide Fringe 2019, a guided walking tour entitled Kreepy Kensington, written and designed by Shannon Norfolk.

Please see the menu or sidebar for a page listing our previous productions. Each page contains information including a cast and crew list, plot synopsis, director's notes, reviews, and photos. It's a very short page for now, but hopefully that will change!

DEATH AND THE MAIDEN

An honorary Oily Rag Theatre production. In 2016, Kristin and Shannon had a "test run" at producing their own show, under the guidance and banner of Moore Books SA, a company they had both worked with on several previous shows. This production was originally going to be the Australian premiere of a stage adaptation of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Preparations had well and truly commenced when Kristin got the bad news from the playwright that Hulu had got exclusive rights to the property for an upcoming TV series adaptation so our stage production would have to be cancelled. So a Plan B was required and quickly. Kristin has loved Death and the Maiden  since high school, and made several unsuccessful attempts to apply to other groups to direct it for them. The production very fortunately fit the timeline and budget already in place for The Handmaid's Tale  and actress Cheryl Douglas was amenable to staying on board for a totally different role in a tota...

Adelaide Fringe 2024 - "The Dark Side of St Peters"

Following our previous sell-out walking tours through Kensington ("Intriguing from go to woe" Adelaide Now), Bowden ("a twist on the usual historical exploration" The Adelaide Show), and Parkside ("important historical stories told in a light and charming manner" Stage Whispers) this year Oily Rag Theatre invite you to join us on a walk through leafy St Peters with two new ghost hosts. Come along for a sunset stroll and hear some stories of the early history of this beautiful suburb. Your guides will be the shades of two "old girls" of Hardwicke Girls College, eager to regale the living with stories of schooling, scandal and eccentrics - including the infamous bone collector!  The walk starts on the footpath outside 6 Third Avenue, St Peters.  Written and researched by Shannon Norfolk.  Dates: 27 and 29 February and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 March. Time: All walks start at 7 p.m. Approximate run time is 80 minutes. Tickets: $25 ge...
