2. 🎟 TICKETS ON SALE NOW: “Kill Me Now” at the Earl Arts Centre

🗓 23–26 July 📍 Earl Arts Centre, Launceston 🎟 Book your tickets via Theatre North
Featuring three one-act comedies:

• The New Mrs. Jones (Dir. Jesse Apted): A darkly funny dinner party where love is on the menu… and survival is not guaranteed.
• The Actor’s Nightmare (Dir. Ryan Politis): An accountant is thrust into a chaotic stage mash-up — and the curtain waits for no one.
• Death of the Doorstep Kiss (Dir. Ashley Eyles): A dating disaster comedy where the only thing worse than the kiss… is the lead-up.

Tickets from $35–$40. Group discounts available. Come laugh, squirm, and celebrate local theatre at its most delightfully unhinged.
