Adelaide Fringe 2026
CANCELLED - Doing a Bradbury
On the brink of his last Olympic chance, plucky Aussie speed skater Steven Bradbury accidentally summons the Devil. Haunted by a checkered skating history and buckling under the weight of the nation’s expectations, Steven wavers when he’s offered a fast pass to success in exchange for his soul. Will he opt in to the Devil’s Faustian bargain and take home gold? Or will the price of victory prove too much?
