Daphne Du Maurier’s gothic novel ‘Rebecca’ meets ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ in this searing one-woman play.

A handsome millionaire starring in a reality TV show runs away with a production assistant – a young woman so unremarkable that no one remembers her name. At first, she is swept away by the fantasy. But on his remote cattle station in the Australian outback, she encounters an unsettling undercurrent of violence, gaslighting and complicit bystanders.

This psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat.

★★★★★ - Stage Whispers
"...competing amidst a Fringe full of escapist comedy and superficial gratification, Gibson’s writing and Cooper’s performance are much smarter, more stimulating – and so vital."

Audience reviews:
"Beautiful... raw... heartbreaking."
"An absolute masterclass."
"One of the most powerful pieces of theatre I've ever seen."
"Michelle's performance literally tears reality apart."

Content Warning: After Rebecca contains discussion of violence against women, coercive control, sexual assault, firearms, death.

Digital sessions:
Livestream tickets are available for the Oct 11 session. Playbacks will be available for 72 hours after the show, so ticketholders can watch the playback until the following Monday.
