About Parmiter's Republic of Drama
Parmiter's Republic of Drama returns to the Fringe with a dark satirical comedy that follows six friends who, spurred by a divine intervention, drop out of university and plan a heist. Things spiral into something strange and twisted, ultimately giving rise to a podcast called How My Hormonal Imbalances Killed My Friends. The play uses the premise to explore toxic masculinity, internalised homophobia and pack-mentality, with a comic tone that keeps the satire sharp rather than heavy. Four shows only.
Why see this show?
A student company taking on genuinely complex themes — toxic masculinity, homophobia and the pull of group identity — through comedy and chaos. Four performances only means it won't be around for long.
