This World Premiere tells the story of Penny Plain.  She is blind, but hears plenty about the state of mankind.  When her companion dog Geoffrey leaves to live as a man, Penny sits waiting for the world to end.  But her vigil is interrupted by survivalists, a serial killer, a cross-dressing banker, talking dogs and mysterious strangers seeking sanctuary as mother earth reclaims her ground.

Age restriction: 14+

“Ronnie Burkett is an absolute master of his craft. Burkett’s productions are sophisticated explorations of the human condition.” - Australian Stage
