The stories will shimmer and shine with their realness and raw intimacy. As diverse as St Kilda itself, you will be taken on a roller coaster ride into the melting pot of life."

The cast features Alicia Beckhurst, Lee Beckhurst, Josie Eberhard, Danelle Lee, Lee McClenaghan, Harriet James, Charlie Schneeberger, Brenton Wade & Zak Zavod. Louise Howlett directs with set design by Kate Ferguson and lighting design by Richard Lyford-Pike.
