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!

Lizzie herself can only give increasingly strange and contradictory accounts of her movements on the day in question, and wakes up screaming from nightmares in which a menacing "Wolf" looms out of the darkness to devour her.  Insp...
