#CalibanSt (2015)

Victoria University, December 11, 2015

Future season: Malthouse, Beckett Theatre, November 2016

In the not-so-distant future, Caliban has left his island because it is disappearing under rising sea levels. He washes ashore in Melbourne and begins searching for a new home. But although he has left his island behind him, his past is closer than he thinks. As temperatures and tensions rise to a fever-pitch, will Caliban be able to make peace with the horrors of his past?

#CalibanSt is a dark comedy that combines slap-stick, audience interaction, fast and funny poetic dialogue, and strange and complex characters.
