    Event description

    ‘Ready or Not’ is a theatrical retelling of the legacy that remains when innocence is taken away.

    We follow ‘Darling’: it’s 1999. Destiny’s Child is pumping, fairy bread is the #1 party snack and musical chairs is one step away from being a blood bath. Underneath these games and sunny dispositions lies a voiceless woman yearning for a conversation. When we meet her again, she’s an adult, we travel with her back and forth as she makes sense of her memories, her anger, and what it took to survive it all with her heart on her sleeve and her sense of humour intact.

    ‘Ready or Not’ is the debut solo work of Gold Coast-based theatre maker Ainslee Palmer. This piece of theatre is a highly physical, funny and deeply personal fever dream of birthday parties, horse races and Stepford wives. It’s an honest and often moving interrogation of what’s left behind once ‘closed doors’ are opened.

    Warnings:  Recommended for ages 16+. Contains suggested violence including sexual violence, sexual references, alcohol references, adult themes, loud noises.

    About White Rabbit Theatre

    White Rabbit Theatre is a femme-led independent theatre company based on the southern Gold Coast. Founded by Lisa Smith in 2012, WRT’s focus continues to be about initiating and leading processes that create original work for theatre: work that is bold, narrative-driven, and deeply collaborative. WRT believes both in the inherent value of tradition in their artform and the importance of innovation and change, and that a thorough and thoughtful process is key in creating work of quality, integrity, and longevity. As the name suggests, curiosity is a central value for the company, and the work they make.
