Talkback

Dead air, live speakers

West Australian
World Premiere

Once Australia’s most famous TV medium, Margie Hillspeck has faded away to the graveyard shift at a local radio station. Lying’s no issue, as long as she keeps ratings up…Hell, it might even help people move on.

Things aren’t great for Margie; she used to give people hope, now she’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. Then one night memories start knocking. Margie might be closer to the dead than she thinks, and they have her number.

Developed with Australian Theatre for Young People and Barking Gecko, Talkback is the debut play from playwright-to-watch Hannah Cockroft. Performed by Monica Main and Mararo Wangai (Improvement Club, The Advisors), this is your spooky night out at FRINGE WORLD 2020.

As part of Summer Nights at FRINGE WORLD 2020.
