A Sound like Thunder

Shepparton festival, 2025

A Sound like Thunder is an hilarious and experimental show about meteors, UFOs, and buried gold in a fictional town called Shepparton. 

On the site of a now gone little corner of the Goulburn river, at the Shepparton Senior Citizens’ Centre, behind a line of striped Do-Not-Cross tape, Doppelgangster (Australia/UK) reenact the the first ‘Play’ staged in Shepparton (1869) (or is it 1969?) (or is it 2069?) with riotous stage trickery, official and unofficial historical records, and both ends of a pantomime cow.

It’s antihistorical reproduction theatre and nothing will get in the way of a good story.

A Sound like Thunder has been written specifically for Shepparton Festival 2025, and specifically for this spot, right here.

Festival attendees might have previously seen  performers Tobias and Kerith Manderson-Galvin in The Midnight Horrors walking performance “Dawn Chorus / Dusk Chorus” at Shepparton Festival in 2023.
