The Wizard of Oz at Roundhouse Theatre

This is our challenge to The Danger Ensemble: to work with us in our main space to help bring this fabulous, fantastical, much-loved story to a new place of contemporary relevance.

We’ve asked The Danger Ensemble to employ their matchless vision to expose the hopes and fears of our own realities, using L. Frank Baum’s original book and its 13 sequels. In 2013, who is the heroine? Who are those who lack courage? Who lack heart? Who lack brains?

For this La Boite and Brisbane Festival world premiere event, we promise a fantasy equal to, but disturbingly different from, the Oz we know and love. What will be at the end of the rainbow? Not even the Wizard himself knows the answer yet, but we can’t wait to find out!
