    Due to the NSW Government’s COVID restrictions, Belvoir has made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the upcoming season of 25A’s Destroy, She Said until we are certain we can open the doors again. We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause but keep a lookout for new dates to be released.

    If you are a ticket holder, we have moved your tickets to a credit on your account, ready to book new tickets when new dates are announced. Should you prefer to receive a refund, please email us and we will organise this for you.

    Stay safe, we hope to be seeing you soon for a COVID-safe Destroy, She Said!

    “Do you want to make me desperate?”

    Alissa smiles, “Yes. Don’t say anymore.”

    Alone in a hotel, Elisabeth is being watched. After the miscarriage of her second child, Elisabeth is sent to a provincial hotel to convalesce. Captivated by her presence, hotel guests Max Thor and Stein observe her trance-like state. But when Max’s young wife Alissa arrives, the veneer of rest and recuperation comes crashing down. In the confines of this desolate hotel; Max, Alissa and Stein enter into a dangerous game with their fragile companion.

    Presented by FERVOUR.
