“An immersive story about burgeoning young love and the challenges of expeditious intimacy”, Fruitcake Productions presents Fruitcake at The Motley Bauhaus, as part of Melbourne Fringe from 30 September 2024.
Fruitcake is a confident, funny, sexually liberated person who has never needed anyone else. So why is she so drawn to the strange girl in her intro to psych class?
This one-woman-show follows Fruitcake, a first year university student who slowly becomes involved with an alluring, off-putting class mate with whom she shares a penchant for awkward situations and films with unnecessarily long titles.
But the more Fruitcake is invited into the world of her classmate turned maybe-something-more-I-mean-who-could-possibly-say; the more she realises there’s more than meets the eye to this girl, as well as something in Fruitcake’s own past she has to face if she has any hope of stepping forward into the future.
This coming of age mystery will keep you guessing until the very end, unsure what to believe and who to trust.
Fruitcake Productions is a Naarm/London based Independent theatre company striving to bring new work to international audiences. They focus on queer, contemporary and diverse theatre by Emerging Theatre Makers.
