Melbourne Fringe: Lonely Planet

Melbourne-based company BRODASAYSTA (Patrick Considine, Ruby Hughes, Adam Ibrahim, Samuel Russo) create an exceptionally silly and viciously biting satire in Lonely Planet, a contemporary cultural odyssey from Melbourne to Bora Bora, through the glossy world of travel guide books and pre-packaged spiritual awakenings.

With a deliciously camp and surreal humour, the ensemble embody a diverse cast of exceedingly ridiculous characters, from goal-driven yuppies to rudderless bohemians to the peppiest in-flight airline team you’ve ever met.

Guided by our very own spiritual guru, “two-time academy award winner and mother of three Cate Blanchett”, this hilarious trans-global adventure navigates the infuriating labyrinth of capitalist bureaucracy in search of one simple truth: ultimate customer satisfaction.
