Susan Melhuish

Experienced Director and theatre worker, Susan Melhuish, is bringing Mark Ravenhill’s politically charged Shoot/ Get Treasure/ Repeat to the Drill Hall Theatre for three nights as part of the Company’s free Member Nights. Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat opened at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007 co-produced by The National Theatre, Gate Theatre and Royal Court Theatre.

Three short pieces from this epic cycle of 16 have been chosen for a ‘moved reading’ at the Drill Hall Theatre.

Shoot/ Get Treasure/ Repeat questions our civilised worlds’ values such as ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’, and the members of a western democracy intent on imposing its ‘freedoms’ on the rest of the world.

A warning: this material contains strong language. Audiences can expect to find the work disturbing, humorous and entertaining. Don’t miss this provocative and compelling theatre!

These free performances will be the last show at the theatre for several months as the Drill Hall Theatre closes for renovations.

This Thurday, Friday and Saturday at 6.30pm.

Book using trybooking at drillhalltheatre.org.au.
