Three people stand at a table. They are wearing white nightdresses with high ruff collars. The person on the left holds a phone, on the right holds a spoon, and the one in the middle is making a shocked expression.
A person in a ghost mask, gloves, and ghost feet wearing a white nightdress with a frill collar. They have arms outspread, one heel stuck out, in a dramatic pose.
Three figures in white nightdresses and clown makeup stand in a line and hold someone in a ghost costume length ways in their arms.

Slippery

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Comedy
Queensland • SA Premiere

A four-way polyamorous love square is shattered into a jarring triangle when one of the lovers returns as a ghost and declares that they have been murdered!

Who amongst them has committed this terrible crime?! The mansion is boarded shut; the endlessly raining world outside is innocent. Will Moon Junes, Silly Goose and Puke ever discover the truth of who killed Fredenharry?

Betrayal, ecstasy, plague, flood and war – this is four-way love and death... this is 'Slippery'!
 
“Electric... ★★★★” - ArtsHub

“Embodies what independent theatre is all about – unapologetic rage, unapologetic joy, and an unapologetic sense of fun.” – Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane

“Never a dull moment... sensationally absurd, and highly recommended” – Theatre Haus

Presented by: Curtain World

Curtain World is an art and event production house based in Meanjin (Brisbane). The company began in 2021 as an effort on the part of playwright Esther Dougherty to consolidate and evidence the labour of production as separate from the art object. What emerged was a production house that loves its artists truly, that works for them, that performs for them. It has produced independent seasons of theatre, interstate tours, durational performance installations, workshops, poetry reading events, costumes, and videos. It has presented the debut seasons of 4 original Australian plays, and contracted over 50 independent artists across many theatre projects. In 2023, Curtain World debuted new play 'Zagazig' in a sold-out indie season at VENTspace.
