Stripped

March 7 – March 18

Sophie works in a strip club.
Lillian is a lawyer.
This summer will be the hottest on record.
And Lillian is dying.
A story about sex and death set in inner city Melbourne.




Stripped is the latest work from Laurence Strangio and Caroline Lee, the creative dup that brought of alias Grace (Malthouse Theatre) and La Douleur (Malthouse and The Stork Theatre). Sharper and more challenging, Stripped continues their uncompromising exploration into the world of the psyche.

“… a masterful performance of a challenging and powerful piece.” – Adam Tonking, Theatre Press

“Writer, actor and creator Caroline Lee remains an unmissable force in independent theatre.” – Anne-Marie Peard, Aussie Theatre
