VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT - Rob Carlton
The Logie-winning The White Lotus actor Rob Carlton returns with a new dramatic comedy: VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT.
It begins with 18-year-old Rob on the backstreets of Salzburg, caught in a three-person knife fight — despite having never used his travel knife on anything tougher than cheese. From there, the show veers into fun, sexy times and moral panic, a bizarre courtroom showdown, and a deeply moving story of fatherhood and friendship that lands straight in the heart. Finally, the knife fight returns — and what began as farce ends somewhere near hope.
With warmth, wit and immaculate comic timing, Carlton finds the funny in life’s chaos and the grace in its mess, discovering that sometimes you can be a hero and an idiot at the same time.
