ANNOUNCING DEADSET’S 2026 SEASON

Written By Charlie Butler

We’re back for another massive year of theatre that hits hard and cuts deep. In 2026, we’re bringing you two powerful productions that explore grief, humour, social dynamics, and violence.

DEEP CLEAN

By Isiah Macaspac
Directed by Matilda Butler
For the One Act Play Festival
July 4th and 5th at the Marion Cultural Centre

Synopsis and cast details to come!

BLACKRock

By Nick Enright
Directed by Ben Proeve
October 20th-25th 2026 at The Mill, Adelaide

It’s Toby Ackland’s birthday party down near the surf club – and that should mean heaps of grog, drugs and good clean fun. But by the morning a young girl is dead – raped by three boys and bashed with a rock.

Who is responsible? The boy? The girl? Or the whole town.

Blackrock is an intimate and strongly shaped human drama which examines the social forces behind the impulse to violence in individual lives.

Now booking auditions!

We can’t wait to share these stories with you. Stay tuned for tickets, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, and more in the lead-up to showtime.
