Russian Roulette
Killjoy Theatre
"Hallucinatory & Confronting Theatre" - Seen Anything Lately
"An arresting piece on body and control" - A Young(ish) Perspective
"Beautiful portrayal of the physiological spiral of a victim and their own self sabotage", "Fantastic, deep, clear, well-thought-through, and with enough narrative progression to keep you on th edge of your seat" - Audience reviews
Girls are sculpted by foreign hands from the moment they are born, and in the case of this girl, the hands come with the face of a friend. A friend who is beautiful, radiant, powerful, the kind of presence everyone can't help but notice entering a room. She is everything the girl is not. She is a mother, a best friend, a teacher and an enemy with an angelic face. Meanwhile, Girl's body screams fighting to live, but she has been sentenced to a lifetime of silence. Together the three of them start a rather unorthodox game of russian roulette where none of them can win. It is all controlled by a higher power fighting to keep their gaze at the wrong thing.
Killjoy Theatre is proud to present Russian Roulette, a deeply personal, abstract depiction of eating disorders and their relationship to systemic misogyny.
