'The cursed night approaches, or so the story goes. When the clock hits 3am the wolf returns to Hope Hill. The wise leave an offering at their door; else she takes what she is owed. 

'But it’s only a myth… Don’t believe everything you hear.

'Building on the landmark success of Because the Night (2021), Malthouse Theatre ambitiously realises Australia’s next chapter of large-scale immersive theatre. Hour of the Wolf introduces you to Hope Hill, a town that is yours to freely explore on the longest night of the year. Interweaving stories unravel the disturbing disappearances occurring between the hours of 3am and 4am.
