Something that Happened – Development Showing

MERRIGONGX presents Something That Happened – Development Showing by The Strangeways Ensemble.

Something That Happened explores the quest for fame as a desire for visibility, to be seen and heard. The work is inspired by the representation of people with disability in film and theatre, with specific reference to John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.

This will be a work-in-progress presentation of concepts and scenes that are being developed towards the Main Stage production in 2024.

Comprising seven members, The Strangeways Ensemble is Merrigong’s permanent company of professional actors perceived to have intellectual disability, and Wollongong’s only professional theatre ensemble.
