Only two more chances to catch Unbelievable at Melbourne Fringe, before it goes on the road! The audience so far has described as poignant, mesmerising, funny, endearing, hilarious... all words I like to hear in relation to my storytelling! www.melbournefringe.com.au/whats-on/eve...

they introduced an upwards guillotine between the seats of trains that would slice up every now and again to prevent spreading. 85% of men got the outside of their legs and elbows chopped off. there was a big public outcry and the guillotines were dismantled

Went to see this yesterday and it was a real highlight! An outstanding example of interactive theatre that really draws on the creativity of the audience. The host is fantastic at finding games with the audience, bringing us into his world and letting us shape it collectively as a crowd 😊
