Ghost Quartet (Preview)

Antipodes Theatre Company revisits their highly lauded Australian premiere production of the concert-musical-hybrid GHOST QUARTET to celebrate Melbourne's return to live performances!

Drawing inspiration from murder ballads and The Twilight Zone, GHOST QUARTET cunningly blurs the line between a contemporary concept album and modern musical theatre. Four musicians gather to drink whisky and share centuries-old stories about love, death, and betrayal – exposing mysterious and dangerous details from their own past along the way. Don’t miss this sleek and seductive experience where nothing is as it seems.
