Darwin's Reptilia at Belvoir St Theatre

In the pool area of a run-down motel, Darwin Australia, a motley crew of five characters contemplate the bizarre circumstances that led them there. It’s the height of summer and the small-city has been overrun by a once in a lifetime crocodile infestation, leaving the group confined to the dull and tedious setting of The Palms Motel.

Cooped up with no direction, Ren, Flick, John and Declan become more impulsive and agitated as the days drag on, increasingly resembling the reptilian threat that surrounds them. As an impending sense of doom approaches, each character must attempt to find direction out of aimless chaos.

On the back of a staged reading at New York City’s IRT theatre, Darwin’s Reptilia is an exploration of human instinct and impulse in an increasingly chaotic world.
