Cipta Theatre Company is excited to present our Semester One production for 2025: Exit the Boy by Blue Jordan!

ABOUT THE PLAY

This tale does not exist to lecture you, and neither does its villain.

A deeply visceral play that explores religion, fairytale, folklore, and the experience of terror, Exit the Boy follows two teenagers as they navigate an encounter with a demon during their stay at Father Kirk’s Bible camp. As the play progresses, the questions arise: what is the true nature of this demon? Is conquering the villain as simple as fairytales make it out to be? And can we ever really grow out of believing the stories we grew up on?

We pay respects to elders, past and present, as well as any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders here with us today.
