Gemma Caruana’s got big feelings, and who can blame her when there’s just so much to get mad about? So she’s made a show to, quite literally, get things off her chest. This musical comedy teems with ideas, songs, video links, costume changes and audience participation. That it all forms a cohesive whole that never overwhelms our focus on Caruana is to her credit.
The Adelaide local has grown and grown since her debut with the excellent Underwire in 2022 and Rage Bait sees her stepping into her power as a singer (where did that soprano come from?), performer and slightly unhinged oddball (anyone else still mad about the Bridget Parker storyline in Neighbours in 2009? Nope? See. Just Caruana).
