What-If Island
An autism diagnosis, a crippling break up, a songwriter alone - what could go wrong? From the team behind 'A Class Act' (2016) and 'Play Nice' (2017), and winner of the Melbourne Fringe 2024 Access and Inclusion award, 'What-If Island' examines the doubts we try to brush away to hold onto our serene shores.
Feeling like her brain is fundamentally faulty, Ilana Charnelle has washed up with the wreckage of her relationship and her neurotypical life. Through storytelling and original song, Ilana questions how long you can live in fantasy, what happens when you look for answers in the wrong places, and how to love our broken parts.
★★★★ "Charnelle captivates the audience through song and monologue....When she hits the high notes, she taps into her visceral pain, giving goosebumps." The Age
Access: Lyric books and a relaxed guide (with wayfinding and content information) will be available for all performances.

Rage, humiliation, sorrow and ultimate clarity is presented with raw and unflinching honesty. Easy on the ears though piercing on the soul. - Darby Turnbull, Theatre Matters
