Selkie

Nearly one Australian woman is killed each week. One in four Australian women have experienced emotional abuse. One in six have experienced physical or sexual violence.

Selkie is a gripping two-hander that reimagines an ancient Celtic myth through a feminist, contemporary lens. At once lyrical and brutal, it examines consent, ownership, and the suffocating weight of assimilation. Both domestic love story and allegory of oppression, the play pulls audiences into a claustrophobic world where safety and freedom are in constant tension.

Blending myth, dark humour, and raw intimacy, Selkie resonates with urgent relevance. It speaks to anyone who has felt trapped, silenced, or othered, holding up a mirror to the ways we repress, exploit, and cage those we claim to love.
