Out of the darkness, Sarah Hamilton and Justine Campbell conjure the ghost of one of Australia's lost beauties, the thylacine. These feisty, funny women weave a lyrical tale of adversity and extinction. 

This production is the winner of "Best Performance Award" at the 2013 Melbourne Fringe Festival. It celebrated self-preservation with a wicked sense of fun.

 

"A RARE AND MOVING FEAT OF THEATRICAL STORYTELLING."
