SMOKO Mparntwe Alice Springs

In partnership with Red Hot Arts, TheatreMakers Presents SMOKO!

Mparntwe Alice Springs, the wait is over! After national and Territory touring, this tripple award winning play is here for a limited season. Tell your friends, grab your tickets and get set for a night of comedy, puppets and small town mishaps.

High-vis glamour meets outback grit in this whip-smart, comedy about landfill life, self-worth, and the rubbish we carry (inside and out). Join Beccy— outback landfill worker, hopeless romantic, and high-vis icon—as she dives headfirst into the filth to find meaning among the mess. With a hapless dating history and a gnawing sense of internal emptiness, Beccy descends into the depths of the dump and into herself to explore what happens when we begin to feel like the disposable items that have infiltrated our modern lives.

SMOKO, directed by Betty Sweetlove and Ruby Conolan Barrett, is a hilarious, heartfelt exploration of how we treat each other—and ourselves—in a world obsessed with stuff. Jasmine Story’s sharp writing and fearless performance promise a night of laughter, realness, and maybe a little catharsis.

Tickets are strickly limited, so snap them up to avoid disapointment!
This show is rated M for audiences 15 and up as there are mild sexual references.

‘Rich in symbolism and pulling every theatre trick out of their dump truck, it’s a holistic reminder of theatre’s capability to transport you to another world without being limited by the size of the room. – Jay Darroch, Magazine6000, Perth.
