About

devised by anna fujihara, sarah iman, steph lee, liimei lim, raven rogers wright and jackie van lierop

It starts with an eerie disappearance…


What follows is a political horror comedy where the four lesbians that are blamed for the sudden disappearance one by one meet gruesome fates. Can one of them survive to set the record straight?


SLAY is a devised theatrical work that explores representation of queer women from a group of emerging artists interested in using queer theatre to upend the status quo. This is a work that hits the audience like a tonne of bricks, moving at the pace we are now accustomed to consuming media. Through the lens of horror, the work examines the frightening rise in polarisation and it asks audiences what distinguishes truth from fiction in our ever growing online world?


SLAY will shock, surprise and scare, taking inspiration from campy horror that has come before it.

“this is an enjoyable if not especially polished production from an obviously talented company of well-cast artists” - Theatre Thoughts


“Lee has actually directed a masterpiece here” - What Did She Think?


“What is great about this production is its commitment to the Queer Theatre aesthetic. The set sparkles and shimmers and the actors are brave and bold.” - What Did She Think?


“costume designer Louisa Fitzgerald … created a costume palette which is perfect and helps the audience understand everything they need to know about these characters” - What Did She Think?


“Director Stephanie Lee gives us a swift, no-frills indie production that pulses with human contradiction and proves a potent vehicle for a talented young cast to strut their stuff.” - The Age


“It’s a vigorous indie revival” - The Age
