About the show
The Real Australia is a new comedy-theatre show from Play On Productions (Australia), performed at the Studio. Inspired by the best moments of Australian reality television, the production takes audiences through a day in the life of modern Australia — from house-hunting at open inspections to nail-biting dance competitions, blissful spa days, and wild house parties. This fast-paced show captures the highs, lows, and laughs of an average Saturday Down Under. It runs for 50 minutes and contains strong language, with an age guidance of 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A fast-paced, affectionate and sharp-eyed celebration of Australian life told through the language of reality TV. Surprising and relatable, it is a show that finds genuine comedy in the recognisably everyday.
