Horror. Maaaaate.
Griffin Theatre Club is the place to meet new people, discuss shows and, of course, see great Australian theatre. Think book club, but theatre edition.
When you elect to attend a Griffin Theatre Club performance, you can meet other Theatre Club attendees prior to the show followed by a mixer and discussion with your new theatre chums about the play.
Whether you are on the hunt for a theatre buddy or want to dip your toe into the world of theatre for the first time, join the Griffs for a great show and even greater company.

Welcome to Bundayabba—the best little town in the world!
You’ll never want to leave. And even if you did… You can’t.
Well-heeled schoolteacher John Grant is en route to Sydney, when a layover in the mining town of Bundanyabba turns into a three-week freefall. Stranded and starving, Grant is forced to rely on the locals for survival. But as the beer flows and the nights wear on, he finds himself stripped of money, identity and sanity.
In a ferocious solo performance, Zahra Newman delves into the twisted heart of Wake in Fright — Kenneth Cook ’s cult Australian novel and, later, an iconic horror film. Directed by Declan Greene ( The Elocution of Benjamin Franklin , The Lewis Trilogy ) with thrilling, bone-rattling score from friendships , this bold adaptation is a descent into a uniquely Australian kind of hell: full of booze, bravado and buried violence.
