July 07 Shane Woon – July 5th, 2026
Playwright Shane Woon joins us to explore Rabbit & Watson, his inventive new work premiering at Darebin Arts Speakeasy. Staged at the Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre, 189 High Street, Northcote, and running 15–26 July , the play brings together Rabbit — a Chinese deity — and Watson, an AFL player, in an unexpected meeting that cracks open questions of masculinity, sporting culture and the complexities of coming out. Blending myth, humour and emotional truth, Rabbit & Watson uses the collision of these two worlds to examine how identity is shaped, hidden and revealed.
