Online Season now playing
Oct 29 – Nov 12

A semi-autobiographical-time-travelling-sci-fi adventure.

A thousand years in the future, Ren and her spaceship M.A.G.D.A. are sucked inside a black hole. Somewhere in the not-so-distant past, Skip is drifting through a darkness of their own. As their lives veer into the unknown, they must each ask themselves the question: When there’s no one to talk to, who you gonna call?

This is a story about two people, one fastidious spaceship and an epic rescue mission a thousand years in the making.

They’re all going to get out of this alive. But you’d better strap in – it’s going to be a wormhole of a ride.

Based on a (mostly) true story and written by award-winning storyteller Rowena Hutson, this rollicking space oddity is a loving and ludicrous lurch into one young person’s experience of anxiety and depression and out the other side.


Notes From a Black Hole will also be livestreamed on Friday Oct 18, 7.30pm. Livestream playback will be available for 72 hours after the show.
