Tragedy! (A New Comedy)

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Comedy

SA Premiere

In a world saturated with pop culture, selfies, narcissism, and the hunger for everyone's 15 minutes, how can one god(dess) preach to the choir of modern civilisation in an effort to reclaim power over the mortals? Tragedy! (a new comedy) is a chance for modern day mortals to meet their maker... Well, one of them anyway.

This truly uniquely absurd story centres on the tribulations of the now redundant gods looking down from the heavens over this modern world. With boredom at an all time high, and in an effort to restore their meaning, one god has been sent down to address the mortals in a bid to reclaim power over their fates.

Tragedy! (a new comedy) is a cabaret for anyone who cannot live without their smartphone, wi-fi or their daily worship and pilgrimage to their favourite barista.
