After ten years of developing and performing the character, Carly Sheppard's Chase is coming to Malthouse in a performance that will likely offend, in one way or another, every audience member.
Kamarra Bell-Wykes directs in this metaphorical train wreck that mows down Australia's colonial shame. Chase is Sheppard's bogan alter-ego, a character stitched together from Sheppard's youth growing up in Frankston that is used by the performer to mercilessly explore culture in Australia. No matter what the Frankston-born, YouTube-posting Chase does, it's impossible to look away as the character holds an unflattering mirror up to Australia.
The production is playing at Malthouse for an extremely limited season, with only six performances planned. Tickets are available now.
