Please come join us for the first reading of Periscope's new work in development: 'Post Show Q&A'. Written by Georgia Symons, Danish Sheikh and Fiona Spitzkowsky. Direction by Ben Sheen and featuring Cait Spiker.

'Building utopias is impossible work. Not that this has stopped the 3 playwrights at the heart of this show from trying. Set in the aftermath of a theatrical attempt at imagining utopia, Post Show Q&A unfurls as a charged conversation over the difficulty (and desirability) of trying to create other worlds in and through art.'

The presentation will take place from 7pm-8pm on Tuesday 5th December
Venue: The Performance Space, Library at the Dock, Docklands Melbourne.

Catch past Periscopers Toby Blome and Zelman Cressey-Gladwin in their new clown show! Playing from this weekend at Fringe.

Rudy & Cuthbert are two clowns with a lot to give. Unfortunately, they don’t know what it is they’re giving specifically and they definitely have no idea who wants it. Rudy & Cuthbert are a new entry in a long history of clowning partnerships, taking after Aussie greats like Los Trios Ringbarkus...

We are very sorry to share that our closing night performance of Reigen has been cancelled. Covid continues to bite!
We are immensely proud of this show, our 9 writers, 9 performers, 3 musicians and incredible creative team. This show was a huge effort and we are sorry we only got the chance to share it for 3 performances. Thank you to all those who managed to see it and for your kind and enthusiastic responses. This show seemed to touch a nerve, to speak directly to the experiences of Melbournians over that last 2 years. We hope it will find another life!
