Antipodes Theatre Company, who brought you acclaimed productions of GHOST QUARTET (Two 2020 Green Room Award nominations), PASSING STRANGE (five 2023 Green Room Award nominations) and GUYS AND DOLLS (thirteen 2024 Green Room nominations, including two wins) presents their second World Premiere production (following 2023’s ORLANDO) – STORKED by Myf Hocking.
When a They and a Them love each other very much…
To have a kid, to not. There is no compromise. You can’t ignore your uterus - it’s constantly reminding you of your capacity for birth. Yuck.
Even if you wanted a kid, capitalism is ******* you in the ***.
You just got Storked.
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 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. Through a series of vignettes, a handful of actors explore society’s obsession with monogamy, pregnancy, parenting and chosen family in increasing levels of absurdity, hilarity and poignancy. We guarantee this wild and visceral show will be unlike anything you’ve seen before.
