An epic rock musical is coming to Australia, bringing with it a horde of flesh-eating zombies! Based on the cult classic film by George A. Romero Night of the Living Dead!, this horror rock musical boasts a hilariously terrifying script and a phenomenal face-melting rock score by Jordan Wolfe, played by a live band.
Past productions by Ghostlight Theatre Co. include the Australian premiere of The Exorcist and the multi-extended run of Evil Dead: The Musical. This show is yet another Australian premiere, once again set to shake up theatre in Brisbane. Now, director Yasmin Elahi is back with another fantastic horror rock musical featuring talented Brisbane performers and local musicians. The cast are excited to welcome you into this semi-immersive experience: a hit for lovers of horrors, rock and musicals alike.
What We Ought to Be
Desire, delusion, and a tiny bit of axe murder
Written by Izak Devlin, Music by William Pipe
This original play asks one question: “What are you willing to do to get what you deserve?”
From the mind of an emerging local playwright comes a suite of deeply flawed characters all reeling in the aftermath of an aristocrat’s death. Existing somewhere between a whodunnit and gothic tales of old, this Toowoomba based debut of What We Ought to Be is guaranteed to surprise in the grimmest way possible.
This original neo-gothic work is brought to Toowoomba with the help of the Toowoomba Regional Council, Regional Arts Fund, and The Empire Theatre’s Homegrown Program.
