The Yonder

Stupid race through deep space.

From the team behind two Melbourne Fringe awards. Earth is about to implode on itself. Passengers and crew board the very last flight departing to a desert planet, humanity’s final asylum. Tensions begin to materialise about how deserved everybody’s place on the craft is. This distracts from the real peril squelching up on them—space squid.

Continuing from Asian Ghost-ery Store and Salty, The Yonder is the concluding play in a series that looks at race, cultural identity and migration with humour and absurdity. This work is devised by comic Elizabeth Davie, actor Ezel Doruk and theatre maker Shannan Lim, who have trained in physical comedy with Phil Burgers, Deanna Fleysher and Philippe Gaulier.

“Intelligent, witty and challenging in turns... an excellent piece of theatre.” — The Age (Asian Ghost-ery Store)
"Oddball bundle of joy... thoughtful and often playfully absurdist." — Perth Arts Live (Salty)

Elizabeth Davie's "got talent in spades". — Pop Culture-y
Ezel Doruk "really shines, emotive and raw". — Theatre Press
Shannan Lim is a "skillful actor". — Sydney Morning Herald
