She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour.
From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!” this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call.
Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake…

The Cupcake Killer
A Sweet Tooth for Justice: Threepence Theatre Productions Proudly Presents The Cupcake Killer
Part of the 2025 Anywhere Festival Brisbane
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?
The Cupcake Killer, a darkly comic vigilante tale baked to perfection by writer and performer Rebecca Love. Directed by Enikő Halász, this deliciously twisted new play will debut at Kurilpa Hall in West End.
In a world where too much goes unpunished, Cindy Klift (played by Rebecca Love) takes justice into her own hands—armed with a whisk, a frosting knife, and an unwavering moral code. Alongside her loyal protégé (Beth Docherty), The Cupcake Killer delivers a rich blend of crime, comedy, and confection.
“Morally complex, bitingly funny, and unexpectedly moving—The Cupcake Killer is unlike anything you’ve tasted before,” says director Enikő Halász.
This show contains themes of justice, revenge, and cupcakes. You have been warned.
Media and reviewer requests welcome.
Interviews with cast and creatives available upon request.…

She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour.
From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!” this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call.
Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake…

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
La Boite Theatre and Dead Puppet Society Present A World Premiere of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! I
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is a high-octane comedy of monsters and heroes that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Off the coast of Queensland, deep in the Pacific Ocean, something terrifying is stirring. Meanwhile, in Brisbane, a local student feels the tremors of its approach. No one listens to her warnings, and as the beast draws closer, she must decide what’s more dangerous—the monster, or the society that created it.
Equal parts climate change thriller, schlock horror, and live-action comic book, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is Godzilla meets The Betoota Advocate, created for a post - Greta Thunberg world.
Written by Maddie Nixon, directed by David Morton (Dead Puppet Society) and Courtney Stewart, with original music by Dean Hanson (Ball Park Music), this is a show you don’t want to sleep on!

The Cupcake Killer
A Sweet Tooth for Justice: Threepence Theatre Productions Proudly Presents The Cupcake Killer
Part of the 2025 Anywhere Festival Brisbane
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?
The Cupcake Killer, a darkly comic vigilante tale baked to perfection by writer and performer Rebecca Love. Directed by Enikő Halász, this deliciously twisted new play will debut at Kurilpa Hall in West End.
In a world where too much goes unpunished, Cindy Klift (played by Rebecca Love) takes justice into her own hands—armed with a whisk, a frosting knife, and an unwavering moral code. Alongside her loyal protégé (Beth Docherty), The Cupcake Killer delivers a rich blend of crime, comedy, and confection.
“Morally complex, bitingly funny, and unexpectedly moving—The Cupcake Killer is unlike anything you’ve tasted before,” says director Enikő Halász.
This show contains themes of justice, revenge, and cupcakes. You have been warned.
Media and reviewer requests welcome.
Interviews with cast and creatives available upon request.…

Delivered as part of Anywhere Festival, Metamorphosis is a theatrical and audio-visual Kaleidoscope.
Calvin Smith has written an altogether gut-wrenching and yet hilarious and inspiring work; an emotional rollercoaster.
You will laugh, and cry, and discover together that, although there is much work to be done for men to transform into metaphorical “butterflies” there is hope that we can mend men’s hearts and work together for a better world. Tickets are available through the Anywhere Festival website.
Anywhere Festival is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour.
From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!” this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call.
Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake…
This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, please visit the Anywhere Festival website.

Presented by Joanne Tindale with Brisbane Anywhere Festival, 'Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire' is a slightly absurd short play about the loss of usefulness and the meaning of family. Ageing dairy cows Buttercup and Venus are Cowkeepers; housekeepers and surrogate parents, to 17-year-old Charlie and eleven-year-old Maxime. In this alternative world, dairy cows are bonded with a child from birth to the age of 18. As Charlie is about to turn 18, Venus must look for another job and accommodation or risk homelessness. Venue: The Paint Factory, 115 Hyde Road, Yeronga, This project is supported by a Creative Sparks grant. The Creative Sparks grant is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council to support local arts and culture in Brisbane.
