VENUE

Duck Duck Goose follows the story of Chris Quinn, a young Irish man living in Galway, who meets Jane Scully in the aftermath of a house party. Jane confronts Chris with an allegation of sexual assault against best friend Davey.
In an attempt to help his friend, Chris becomes deeply embroiled in the sexual assault allegation forces him to question his friends Davey, Andy and sister Sarah as he is exposed to the trial by social media that follows. We follow Chris' interactions with several women who leave him questioning his loyalty to his friends and family and forcing him to look within himself as he starts to unravel.
As the rules change, and confusion reigns supreme, Chris struggles between loyalty, love and doubt. This is a story that is full of moral ambiguity and psychological complexity, this viscerally-charged new play that constantly shifts our perspective on the ideas of consent, trust, and trial by social media.
THAT Production Company brings this Australian premiere to Melbourne starring Mitchell Holland (The Follower's, LoveBite, UNBOXING) and Matt Domingo (High Country, In Our Blood) and directed by Timothy Wynn.

Our AT THEATRE WORKS program is for artists, companies or works that align with some but not all of our values as an organisation. We co-present these works with the independent artists and organisations. Works within this programming stream receive marketing support, technical support, free venue use and a generous box office split but largely we give them the keys and get out of their way.
