Slippery
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 β this is four-way love and death... this is 'Slippery'!
βElectric... β

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.

Electric, strange and strangely sincere, Slippery will keep you mesmerised until the very end. - Nina Culley, ArtsHub
I simply cannot recommend Slippery highly enough - Claire Alcock, Nothing Ever Happens In Brisbane
