FRI FEB 21 7:30PM

In-Development Staged Reading: STORKED by Myf Hocking (they/them)

An electric exploration of the choice to choose, living in a body that constantly betrays you, and finding the people in your life who matter the most, STORKED interrogates the expectation upon AFAB people to have children and the growing awareness that it might not be such a hot idea in our world today.

Approximate Running Time: 90 minutes with no interval

STORKED is being produced at Theatre Works in May 2025, so be one of the first to see this new work-in-progress before the production!

Part of Antipodes’ inaugural Summer Lab, providing ongoing development support to previous Winter Lab projects (Antipodes’ flagship development program, established in 2020). Each of the seven Summer Lab projects will culminate in either a one-night-only performance, a staged reading or in-development ‘sneak peek’ open session as part of Festival of the Unseen.

Antipodes Theatre Company seeks to provide a collaborative and inclusive environment for producing independent theatre in Melbourne. Programming includes: full-length plays and musicals, cabarets, live events, year-round workshops for artists, and supporting new work and local writers through our Winter Lab and ongoing development initiatives.

Our aim is to produce challenging and enlightening work that embraces duality within the human condition. Work that looks at situations from a unique angle or exposes what it is like to step into someone else’s shoes. Antipodes was founded, in part, by New York City transplants who currently find themselves as close to the antipode of that location as they are ever likely to be.

Previous productions include Orlando (World Premiere), Guys and Dolls (two 2024 Green Room Awards, thirteen nominations), Passing Strange (Australian Premiere, five 2023 Green Room Nominations), And She Would Stand Like This (Australian Premiere), Sam Martin's Sam I Am (Victorian Premiere) and Ghost Quartet (Australian Premiere, two 2020 Green Room Award Nominations with return seasons in 2021 and 2025).

Finally, Antipodes strives to maintain an inclusive and safe work space through a minimum of 50% representation – on stage and off – by women, ethnically diverse artists, people with disability, trans or non-binary people, seniors, or other members of historically or culturally marginalised communities who are not well represented on stage.
