We are a new theatre company, planning to tour regional Victoria and beyond, with funny, moving, and dramatic plays that entertain and speak to the heart. And if our plays can also make communities speak to each other - about issues that affect us all both individually and as a community, that’s even better. Our first play to tour in 2022 is ’The Savages of Wirramai”, directed by Kevin Summers. With a cast of six talented and experienced actors, including the legendary Don Bridges, we’re tremendously excited at the prospect of bringing this play to the north east of the state. The tour will be covering Shepparton, south through the Macedon/Bendigo region, Mornington Peninsula, and the Wedge Theatre in Sale. Opening at La Mama in 2014, ‘The Savages of Wirramai’ received four and five stars from Artshub and Theatrepeople. See below for more information and reviews. A Q and A session will also be provided on request, for those wanting to explore the themes of this play afterwards. Please get in touch if you are interested in your town being part of this exceptional season, and for future audiences wherever you may be - we look forward to meeting you soon. Best, Sandy Fairthorne, and the cast and crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624760672132-9NBWAZAHNS56DXK0W9PV/28515146_10154990711872030_8086410063554604971_o-2.jpeg Home old The Savages of Wirramai - Crying Chair Theatre, Sydney Directed by Kate Bookallil Cast: Luke Davis, Joanne Booth, Steven Monteith, Christine Greenough, Emma Dalton, Mel Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624760697726-PO3QTUBSZ7IH7J314TP6/Savages20of20Wirramai.jpeg Home old The Savages of Wirramai - La Mama, Melbourne Directed by Kevin Summers Cast: Liam Gilllespie, Anna den Hartog, Kirsty Snowden, Kirsty Child, David Macrae, Cherie Mills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626005381550-VXTIFY5XBC9H91K3DHV5/82440.jpg Home old Bec Barnett, touring coordinator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626005588961-2VK50V1FRTT8MAW1QDKD/IMG_4059.jpg Home old Playwright, producer and director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624761056474-X9VVYXUYGJZRG07S8DRE/unsplash-image-U9Fl63SF9TM.jpg Home old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624761145339-286HKQFTACR4YKR6091Y/unsplash-image-mk7D-4UCfmg.jpg Home old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624766059460-BT0IJXC44SQWKA8423RS/unsplash-image-omeaHbEFlN4.jpg Home old - Make it stand out Find out how to join a play reading https://www.suckerpunchtheatre.com/contactus daily 0.75 2021-06-27 https://www.suckerpunchtheatre.com/awardsreviews daily 0.75 2022-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624768138366-NUMNZ157PJBN94YQ083J/unsplash-image-1ykxJPkXu3k.jpg Awards & Reviews - “The Savages of Wirramai penetrates to a place of real honesty and vulnerability. Simple and powerful, it leaves you wanting to slam your fists into the family dinner table and throw all the unspoken issues onto the table, precisely because you know you won’t.” “⭑⭑⭑⭑” Raphael Solarsh ArtsHub Full Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624767624603-UM3AC583EKZQAG215A4Q/Savages_167343_01.jpeg Awards & Reviews “The Savages Of Wirrama made for powerful, compelling drama. At times it was unsavoury, at others, confronting. But as a piece of intense theatre it was simply outstanding. I’m nominating the play, its director and every on-stage performer for awards.” Colin Mockett Entertainment Geelong Full Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624760697726-PO3QTUBSZ7IH7J314TP6/Savages20of20Wirramai.jpeg Awards & Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624769472785-PCHMPQQJDZMEXFE8FC1I/Picture+1.png Awards & Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624768670065-Q91SXJ5F4PMSHV1OCD6P/unsplash-image-j1enpIg0Vk0.jpg Awards & Reviews “It's a well-written, thought-provoking play which presents a vividly compelling portrait of the family dynamics as tragedy moves inevitably closer and a dark secret (the type everyone knows about but nobody talks about) is dragged out into the open.” Alex Paige Stage Whispers Full Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626197596667-PFE40UD99ASEG2RJNZUV/PictaSAdsure+1.jpg Awards & Reviews The Confessions of Jeremy Perfect.

Funny and feeling, this production never forgets you can have sight gags galore (and there are some LOL corkers as director Richard Cotter never allows lulls to occur), plus some terrific unseen punch lines/scenes from baby in next room.” Chuck Moore Chuck Moore Reviews About Full Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626025431114-AYARCSI60C90MS2ZZMGZ/Confessions-Jeremy-1.jpeg Awards & Reviews “It was a pleasure to see every one of the available limited seats taken. So many small companies, without the kudos and support that big name companies attract, have gone to the wall. Time to pay them all back for the years of joy they have brought us and get out there and see some theatre.” Kate Stratford On The Town Full Review https://www.suckerpunchtheatre.com/workshops daily 0.75 2022-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624770776826-S9HIIWM0CZEO87TT2WS9/unsplash-image-mk7D-4UCfmg.jpg Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1629913204851-VZU6TI3WNQ6BP572ETS2/unsplash-image-y02jEX_B0O0.jpg Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.suckerpunchtheatre.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624759588860-TKZ2AXLFW37BE3K5WOKJ/unsplash-image-j1enpIg0Vk0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624760672132-9NBWAZAHNS56DXK0W9PV/28515146_10154990711872030_8086410063554604971_o-2.jpeg Home The Savages of Wirramai - Crying Chair Theatre, Sydney Directed by Kate Bookallil Cast: Luke Davis, Joanne Booth, Steven Monteith, Christine Greenough, Emma Dalton, Mel Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624760697726-PO3QTUBSZ7IH7J314TP6/Savages20of20Wirramai.jpeg Home The Savages of Wirramai - La Mama, Melbourne Directed by Kevin Summers Cast: Liam Gilllespie, Anna den Hartog, Kirsty Snowden, Kirsty Child, David Macrae, Cherie Mills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626005381550-VXTIFY5XBC9H91K3DHV5/82440.jpg Home Bec Barnett, touring coordinator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1626005588961-2VK50V1FRTT8MAW1QDKD/IMG_4059.jpg Home Playwright, producer and director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624761145339-286HKQFTACR4YKR6091Y/unsplash-image-mk7D-4UCfmg.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624766059460-BT0IJXC44SQWKA8423RS/unsplash-image-omeaHbEFlN4.jpg Home - Make it stand out Find out how to join a play reading https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/1624761056474-X9VVYXUYGJZRG07S8DRE/unsplash-image-U9Fl63SF9TM.jpg Home https://www.suckerpunchtheatre.com/recent daily 0.75 2022-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d7b0618e19ed69e62ef044/c7bbedde-a3f0-4fa1-bcdd-805f6bdf476c/Flyer+v2D+lores.jpeg Recent
