Overflow Cast and Creative Team Call Out

About The Show

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 Australian premiere of "a future classic" (Evening Standard, ★★★★) directed by Dino Dimitriadis.

"Club toilets have taught me more about sisterhood than any book."

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?

Director

Dino Dimitriadis

Dino Dimitriadis is a trans director and interdisciplinary creative producer and curator, with an interest in queer performance, experimental practice and cross-cultural work. They live on unceded Gadigal land. Dino's recent theatre directing credits include: Lady Tabouli (National Theatre of Parramatta), De Profundis with Paul Capsis, Omar and Dawn, Tony Kushner’s Angels in America Parts I & II which was nominated for 6 and received 3 Sydney Theatre Awards, a queer reading of Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses which was nominated for 6 and received 4 Sydney Theatre Awards, All My Sleep and Waking and The Girl / The Woman (National Theatre of Parramatta). Dino has worked extensively on the development of new Australian work, and their dramaturgical interests lie in the intersection of form and text, creating dynamic live performance experiences that blend live theatre with other modes of presentation. 

OVERFLOW will be led by a trans creative team and safety will be central to the working processes. 

If you have any questions about the work or process before you apply, please feel free to email director Dino Dimitriadis: dino.dimitriadis@gmail.com.
