The Deplorables

Performances

In Bendigo in 1874 two women's teams played cricket for the very first time in Australia. Money was raised for charity, the women were praised for their sporting endeavours and then – all hell broke loose – as the press decided that women should stay home, know their place and sit down.

Written by Christine Davey and presented by award-winning regional theatre company – Skin of our Teeth Productions – this joyous, musical explores the first women's cricket match in the country and what it means for everyone.

A sharp, funny, and deeply human new work, The Deplorables turns the spotlight onto quiet rebellions, everyday courage, and the unexpected power of women who decide enough is enough.

Blending physical theatre, striking choral movement, this is a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the extremely ordinary men who tried to stop them.

Suitable for all ages.

The Deplorables was developed with the support of Australian Plays Transform.

A great show deserves great food.
