Blatant alcoholism, nervous nose bleeds and inappropriate affairs. Welcome to the Theatre, take your seat.
When a deeply under rehearsed cast of mediocre actors meet for a final dress rehearsal before the opening night of their production of ‘Nothing On’, there’s only so much that can go wrong, right?
Haha, that is incorrect.
Tantrums are thrown, sardines are forgotten, and axes are swung, all whilst paying audience members watch with morbid intrigue as uncomfortably self-conscious student actors disintegrate into murderous toddlers before their eyes.

Honi Soit review
“With a razor-sharp wit, the production blends slapstick, farce and irony to provide audiences with one of the funniest plays of the year.”
