SUDS Presents: Bin Night
Written by Charlie Papps
16th August - 24th August 2024
The Cellar Theatre, 7pm

Runtime: 90 minutes with an intermission

Bin Night is a black comedy, depicting five episodes of a play school-esque TV show made for adult problems. It takes place in a dingy share house in Redfern, where three 20-somethings attempt to navigate the horrible lessons of their puppet teacher, Mr. Shingles. They learn about big topics that are far too complex for the time they are given, like relationships and… gambling. Each episode devolves into a riotous mess, with neck maiming, puppet wrestling, and crippling tetanus just the tip of the titanic-sinking iceberg.

Content warnings: This play contains coarse language, sexual references, references to and depictions of death, references to addiction, use of blood, mild strobe lighting, threats of domestic terrorism.
