Occasional Combustible Disaster | At The Loading Dock

Everyone keeps telling Freddy Ambit that he has his whole life ahead of him. In two days he finishes his HSC and turns 18, but before that he needs to make a choice: turn himself in to the police to be tried as a minor or live with the guilt of a deadly secret for the rest of his life. 

The surprise return of his non-binary sibling and the constant bickering of his mother and father about schoolies, bananas and Lapland can’t distract Freddy from the fuse burning down in his mind. 

Written by Daniel Cottier (Yeah/Yes), this hilarious and heartbreaking play examines the fallout inevitable in all nuclear families.

Developed with assistance from Riverside's National Theatre of Parramatta.
