Stabbing The Ghost

Presented by: Safari Street Creative

Feb 20 - Mar 2

The Arch

Origin: SA World Premiere

Genre: Theatre

In an empty newspaper office, two jaded journalists arrive to finish their latest articles. They know they should care about what they write, but they just don't care about anything - unless someone rewrites their work...

A dark comedy about cheap words & cheaper secrets, 'Stabbing The Ghost' is the searing 4th play by Safari Street Creative probing the death throes of truth in the clickbait age. And they're pretty f**king loud.
