NOTES FROM THE MOONEE PONDS CANAL - 2022 MELBOURNE FRINGE
Step behind the desk of a Melbourne revolutionary in this absurd new satire.
"They’re symbols. They mean something. Something real."
Step behind the desk of a would-be Melbourne revolutionary in this bold and funny new play by VCA playwriting graduate Fred Pryce.
Inspired by Dostoevsky, 'Notes from the Moonee Ponds Canal' is a headfirst dive into the Internet-driven paranoia and the conspiratorial nature of our unique times. Alienated from society, an angry young man decides to push back against society's lies. The problem is, he doesn't really know where to begin. Haunted by high school reunions and dreaming of the apocalypse, he begins to piece together a whole new religion...
Incels, cultists, conspiracy theorists and cryptocurrency enthusiasts - all will be skewered in this strange and razor-sharp satire.
I think back to this from time-to-time and really enjoyed it!
