Young couple Tess and Maud are off on a camping weekend for some much-needed respite from their busy lives. But with a rogue animal on the loose, ominous weather warnings and a strange man hanging around their campsite, what begins as an idyllic couple getaway quickly descends into the trip from hell.
‘Menace Ridge’ is a one-act thriller-comedy, exploring the threats constantly pushing in on womxn and queer people when we venture outside of our safe zones and into the unknown.
For many of us, charming images of couples in matching Kathmandu jackets smiling triumphantly on a hike are deeply linked to our idea of a fulfilling and adventurous life. But for queer couples partaking in these rites of passage, the experience can be vastly different from the heteronormative narrative we’re often sold.
Dirty Pennies Theatre Project are teaming up with the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre to premiere award-winning writer Amy May Nunn’s new genre-bending play, as part of their inaugural Midsumma season. Using raw storytelling and original sound design, Menace Ridge examines the camping misadventure tale through a queer lens, taking audiences on a tense, irreverent and guttural journey into uncharted territory.
