Slaughterhouse

By Anchuli Felicia King
Directed by Benita de Wit

  • Venue Downstairs Theatre
  • Dates 16 October – 2 November 2019

    Something unspeakable happens at an ethical eating start-up and five witnesses are brought in to recount their version of events. But who is telling the truth and how far will each person go to save their own skin? It’s do-or-die at this cutthroat start-up company, and someone is going to be sacrificed.

    “This balls-tripping, brilliantly produced play by 25-year-old Anchuli Felicia King is a work of deeply funny, original and rarefied genius.” (★★★★1/2 | Audrey Journal)

    “Slaughterhouse likes to keep you on the edge of your seat” (★★★★ | State of the Art)

    “Disturbingly funny and refreshingly bold” (Australian Arts Review)
