We're excited to have Rakali at the Bowery Theatre next month!

Rakali is contemporary Australian Gothic fable about a young couple moving from suburban Melbourne to a remote Tasmanian houseboat with their newborn. But life on the river is less than idyllic, as isolation strains their relationship. Then Rocko arrives. The couple are enchanted by this charismatic neighbour. But Rocko is a shapeshifting water rat intent on stealing and eating their baby.

Written by Alex Duncan

🏆 Melbourne Fringe nominee and Green Room Award winner

Details: Saturday 20 June, 7-8.10pm at the Bowery Theatre, St Albans.

It’s an immersive experience where music, projection, and audience choice shape what happens next.
