Overflow poster with a person standing in the corner of a club toilet cubicle

A hilarious and devastating tour of women’s bathrooms, who is allowed in and who is kept out.

From internationally acclaimed writer and one of the UK’s most prominent trans voices, Travis Alabanza (Burgerz), comes the Victorian premiere of “a future classic” (Evening Standard, ★★★★) directed by Dino Dimitriadis.

Cornered into a flooding toilet cubicle and determined not to be rescued again, Rosie distracts herself with memories of bathroom encounters. Drunken heart-to-hearts by dirty sinks, friendships forged in front of crowded mirrors, and hiding together from trouble.

But with her panic rising and no help on its way, can she keep her head above water?


Audio Described Performance: Thursday 1 February, 7:30pm

Audio Description (AD) is a narration that provides detailed information and descriptions of the visual elements of a performance. Audio Description can benefit people who are blind or have low vision. It can also be suitable for people with multisensory or learning disabilities and Autistic people. AD is available on select performances and can be booked online or over the phone. If you would like to use the AD available on specific performances, add a headset to your online booking or request one during a phone booking.

Tactile Tour: Thursday 1 February, 7:30pm

Tactile Tours allow audiences to feel key elements of a performance such as props, the set, and costumes. Tactile Tours are offered on select performances and run prior to the event to enhance the experience.

Tactile Tour will commence at 6.30pm and the meeting point is outside Door 1 Fairfax Foyer.

Auslan Interpreted Performance: Thursday 1 February, 7:30pm

Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is used by the Deaf community in Australia. Auslan Interpretation is offered for select performances. To book seats near the interpreter, select ‘Book tickets’ on the event page and add the code AUSLAN into the promo code box. These seats are subject to availability.

Relaxed Performance: Saturday 3 February, 3pm

Relaxed Performances (RP) are for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. We focus on adapting the environment and performance, as well as preparing the audience by developing pre-show resources. You can book into an RP online or over the phone via 1300 182 183.

For this Relaxed Performance, the house lights will remain on at a dim level, the theatre doors will stay open, and we may make minor changes to some sensory elements, such as reducing bright light and loud sound. There will be no strobe lighting in this Relaxed Performance. A quiet area will be available in the foyer and you can take a break at any time.

You will be emailed with further information and a link to the Visual Story several days before the event.
