Something strange is happening in HollowÂ…

Tania, Phil and Sally can’t wait to leave Hollow or ‘Nowhere Central’ as they call it, a typical Aussie country town where there are no
secrets, no strangers and where nothing unusual ever happens.

But in an ironic twist of fate, a mysterious plague breaks out and the authorities lock down the town. Their quest for a better future
suddenly turns into a race for survival as one by one the epidemic kills off their schoolmates.

Alliances shift, parents lock out their children and the choices between life and death become simultaneously fantastical and apocalyptic.

Falling Petals is high-octane theatre. Edgy, entertaining and twisted, itÂ’s The X-Files meets the Lord of the Flies!
