Bizarre fun … delivering twisted pleasures that are genuinely delightful Suzy Wrong
A dark and dangerous comedy that pays homage to the creation stories of all the world’s religions. This playful modern myth is a feast full of sex, violence, depravity and the creator’s first children.
It’s a violent play but its message is peace. We all come from the same roots. Your book is my book. We are all the same.
Pack your tissue and don’t tell Him.
Director Amelia Burke With Tel Benjamin, Melissa Gan, Sam Hayes, Lukas Radovich & Kavina Shah

In this family what do we always avoid Achimi?
Eating cheese before bed?
Violence. We always avoid violence.
Oh yeah violence.
When we look at the history of our religions we can track how they moved from one country to the next. All our stories are influenced by our neighbours stories, and their neighbours stories, and their neighbours, neighbours stories.
