'A near drowned damsel steps into the spotlight – a gothic black comedy about secrets, madness and mansplaining
'In a world of mad men and murdering uncles, drowning never felt so good. A woman wanders an empty castle, clutching rotting flowers – told what to do, where to stand, what to think. No one really listens to her, no one really sees her.
'Enter Ophelia is a darkly funny gothic riff imagining a vastly different future for our drowned damsel.
'Two of Melbourne’s most exciting indie theatre companies Essential Theatre and Three Birds Theatre come together to present the world premiere of a thrilling new exploration of femininity, isolation and silliness.'
