This is her calling.
From local writer Samantha Hill comes this brand-spanking-new comedy thriller of otherworldly proportions! Strap in for an evening of huge laughs, big feelings, and work Christmas parties gone horribly wrong…!
Sloane has been receiving messages from the universe. The Hanging Man tarot card keeps appearing in her library books, her early period is an omen of impending doom, and now there’s a dead bat hanging from the powerlines. All of these signs can only have one possible meaning – it’s time to kill her evil boss and save everyone at the call centre. Obviously.
And just when you think it can’t get any more unhinged, it absolutely does! Darkly hilarious and edge-of-your-seat, Dead Bat on the Night Shift takes aim at toxic workplaces, hustle culture, and the 9-5, holding no punches and asking – can we ever get a life?
"Extremely clever and maturely takes us down all kinds of deep paths, with great social, political, gender and satirical commentary sparkling through." Theatre Press, For Merry Christmas, Bitches
