The Horse’s Mouth

“A night of strikingly diverse theatrical styles and subject matter…talented writer-actors presenting hilarious, provocative and personal works.” ✮✮✮✮ The Brag

The Horse’s Mouth – a festival of autobiographical performance.

Rock Surfers Theatre Company have rounded up an exciting gang of local, inter-state and international artists for our second ever Horse’s Mouth festival.

From bicycle adventures around Poland to a shameful night out in Finland, from the love of a proud, albeit confused, father to the pain of having Godzilla tear your heart out - The Horse’s Mouth festival showcases seven intimate new shows. 

Come down to the Bondi Pav this December and share these strange, staggering, life changing and deeply moving personal stories.

From a suburban video shop to blinding deserts and cities razed to the ground, this is a story about an old man, a scientist and a dragon that sleeps beneath the sea. (11 – 14 Dec)
