Description

HotHouse Theatre is bringing an unmissable play to Corryong and the surrounding communities.

After three years in development, a remarkable ensemble of six extraordinary actors breathe life into Unprecedented, a landmark new Australian play by multi-award-winning playwright, Campion Decent.

“I don’t hold a hose, mate.”

Based on coronial inquiry reports, testimonials and submissions to the royal commission, including those infamous words of the former Prime Minister, Unprecedented stands as a rallying cry, an urgent theatrical work and powerful tribute to people fighting for their communities.

With heart and unexpected humour, the play speaks to the resilience of community, the long road to recovery, and the courage it will take to make change.

This major theatrical event is the companion work to Campion’s celebrated play Embers, which premiered at HotHouse Theatre in 2006.

Unflinching. Unmissable. Unprecedented.


Content Advice: Suitable for ages 15+. Contains the use of smoke, haze, flashing lights, loud sounds and imagery evoking bushfire. It also includes strong language, descriptions and references to bushfire and its impacts. If any patrons feel the need to step out of the theatre, you may do so at any time. Patrons will be supported to re-enter the theatre at an appropriate moment.
