Walt Disney reads you a screenplay he wrote. About himself. And his death.

An adrenaline charged theatrical odyssey, a supersonic portrait of the man who forever changed the American Dream;  an unforgettable fantasia. New York writer Lucas Hnath’s hit play receives a daring and comical Australian premiere care of l’enfant terribles MKA and Chapel Street’s Provocaré Festival of the Arts.

Aided by a pack of cigarettes, a litre of vodka, his family, and countless dead lemmings,
Walt Disney reads you a screenplay he wrote. About himself. And his death.

A Public Reading of An Unproduced Screenplay about the Death of Walt Disney is about fantasies, corporate monopolies, the price of success, and the Disney Dynasty. Walt Disney, his brother Roy, Walt’s daughter Dianne, and his son-in-law Ron.

This wonderful spectacle was staged entirely from an elite boardroom and/or magical castle, featured jazz score from Jules Pascoe (JAZZ Party, Husky), and starred the real nuclear family unit of MKA’s Tobias Manderson-Galvin and Kerith Manderson-Galvin, and their parents Distinguished Professor Lenore Manderson & Patrick Galvin (AM).
