Nishanti Selvaraj is in Years Years Bears at Melbourne Fringe.
Did you see?
Did your cousin know her?
Did you listen to the podcast?
Was it funny?
In a quiet community hall during a support group for ex-cult members, a brutal murder takes place.
Years later a true crime podcast delves into what caused the group to turn against each other. Witness live re-enactments of the meetings from never-before-heard transcripts, which eventually lead up to the event commonly referred to as ‘The Corner Hall Witch Trial’ – complete with Squarespace ads, of course.
But as the harrowing story begins, the victim wants to re-write her story.

About Wildefang
Wildefang productions is a Naarm/Melbourne based theatre company that looks at the absurdity and humour in the dark experiences of being human. We engage in a variety of genres but are always looking to interrogate this moment in time, and what it means to be in search of community, walking a tight rope between belonging and individualisation.
