Strange place. Strange time. Strangely familiar.

In a world of corruption, decadence and intrigue, a lone woman confronts the most powerful institution of her times.

Bawdy and bloody, exuberant and irreverent, Catherine at Avignon is bold new writing from Paul Gilchrist, the creator of 2008’s underground hit True Times Three. “I can’t really bring to mind the last time I laughed as loud and almost amidst it, felt the agony of intense, searing tragedy.” Australian Stage Online.

Set in fourteenth century France, and inspired by actual events, Catherine at Avignon is the epic story of an extraordinary personality. Branded a no one by her society, Catherine fearlessly took on kings and queens. Avignon would be her greatest challenge. Sexy, passionate and very funny, Catherine at Avignon is an exciting, exotic theatrical experience.

With Melissa Jones, Dave Kirkham, Heidi Lupprian, Rowan McDonald, Anna Martin, James Shoobridge and Designer Emma Vine
