Exploring the slippery nature of truth in a new play about Julian Assange, in which the Wikileaks founder is played by five separate actors; a theatrical nightmare utilising sophisticated sound design to immerse audience members in the world of Daphne du Maurier’s short story The Birds; and the mainstage debut of Melbourne indie theatre collective Pony Cam, featuring the unpredictable cohort taking a chainsaw to Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, are among the highlights of Malthouse Theatre‘s 2025 season.
Malthouse Artistic Director Matthew Lutton says the overall tone of the season is “really about trying to step outside of your own reality … into an alternative world of a fantasy or a nightmare or the joys of others”.
