Five adult humans are scattered across a black stage. From left to right, a woman in a black dress with long brown hair leans forward with an expression of surprise; a salt-and-pepper bearded man dressed in dark tshirt and pants shivers with arms folded; a Caucasian man in jeans with dark, curly hair makes a sympathetic pouting face; a woman in denim shorts and singlet, with pink hair and glasses, squats and gestures to be carrying something, and; a tall causcasian man with neck-length hair and a backwards hat leans forward with interest.
The background is a quilt of colorful bandanna style handkerchiefs.

Produced by: Danielle Robinson and Fiona DiBerardino

For the first two weeks of Melbourne Fringe Festival, The Improv Pit presents its newest full-length show exploring Aussie Soapies.

There will be sentimentality; there will be melodrama; the ensemble will play soapie inspired characters with interweaving stories.

Using long-form improvisation plus tropes of Aussie soapies and drama, a full story will be created, joyfully exploring personal relationships, family life, emotional and moral conflicts, and some of the unique quirks of Australiana, Mate.

Every show is an episode of a serial drama that has never existed before and will never be seen again.

Duration: 60 minutes
Age suitability: PG
Event warnings: Mild Coarse Language, Some Infrequent/Low Pressure Audience Interaction.
