Breaking the Castle
Every day, 8pm to 9:30pm Wednesday 23 July to Saturday 26 July
Matinee on Saturday at 3pm
A true story walking the tightrope between heartbreak and hilarity, Breaking the Castle is a dark comedy about falling apart and faking your way through recovery - until you can't.
An hilarious, heartfelt true story of human resilience
Breaking the Castle follows the story of David, a struggling actor whose life is a chaotic blend of substance abuse, Shakespearean soliloquies, failed auditions, and debilitating mental health. David takes himself to the brink, until an unlikely lifeline offers hope in the mountains of South-East Asia.
This is not your average tale of addiction. It's a razor-sharp, darkly comic ride through one man’s chaos, full of warmth, laughter, and surprising hope. Think Trainspotting meets Fleabag-raw, real, and unexpectedly hilarious, with a huge heart that will have you leaving the theatre feeling inspired and uplifted.
A genuine work of empathy, Breaking the Castle is a remarkable true story about the indomitable nature of the human spirit.
A portion of the Box Office proceeds from Breaking the Castle will go to the Australian Anti Ice Campaign.
