This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

Two actors on stage are shouting. One is dark haired and her fist is raised in a moment of passion. She wears pink pajamas. The other actor wears a mullet wig and cargo shorts. The two stand behind a table
Four girls sit and stand around a table mixing together ingredients in a blender. They all wear similar expressions of disgust. Behind them stands a man licking his fingers
Three characters are on stage. Two sit on a small mattress on the floor while the third leans over them. One of the seated characters wears a crown cut from a piece of denim. The kneeling actor caresses her face

APOCALYPSE

Grace’s 15th birthday party unfortunately coincides with the zombie apocalypse - not the best start to the night, but it’ll all be fine, right? Dark grindhouse horror and 2000’s campy comedy collide at the end of the world. Six teenagers are fighting against all odds to survive. Will they make it, or will the zombies prevail? A hysterical, messy, Vegemite filled romp. 

★★★★ TTUACGTSTI (2024)

“The two young players held the stage with wit, ability and focus - well written, well performed and well worth watching more than once” Mindshare

★★★ MELTDOWN (2021)

"A talented cast of young regional artists intensely convey it's the end of the world as we know it - and no one's feeling fine" The Advertiser

★★★★ AREA 53 (2019)
