meteors. ufos. buried gold. a fictional town that very much exists.
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 was written for Shepparton Festival 2025, and specifically for this spot, right here.
