At the edges of a remote penal colony, a cut-purse, a priest, and an aboriginal refugee flee their captors in an uneasy truce. Through a trail of blood, dust and fire they’ll find that hunger powers the strangest of dreams. A post-punk prison fantasy.

“Manderson-Galvin’s writing soars and the three actors take full flight in an incredible riff”
Herald Sun
“Rapid and outrageous, unruly, disconnecting processions and morbid charades that point up hypocrisy and false piety. Full of gusto and provocation and self-reflexive ambivalence.”
Daily Review
“Lucky is a razor sharp, dark, brooding piece of theatre … Nothing short of visionary.’
Australian Arts Review
“Kicks off NEON Festival with a bang!”
★★★★
Beat Magazine
“Funny as hell. Go home. You had art.”
