“The intelligent analysis and modern queer theatre accent of Fruit Box Theatre speaks to us in challenging but necessary terms”
Paul Nolan, Sydney Arts Guide
Coming Up…
SNAKFACE
By Aliyah Knight
Directed by Bernadette Fam
Coming to Belvoir 25A, 8 - 27 April 2025
At age 23 Snakeface is cursed by her ex to live her life as a monster. Reclaiming the violence forced upon her, she rampages through the queer clubs and art studios of Sydney with a lifetime of silenced words and stolen power to unleash.
Inspired by the myth of Medusa, SNAKEFACE explores the tight loop of creation and destruction. Rejected and tested, Snakeface claws at her relationship with sex, sculpture, romance, and rage in a body that has never been afforded safety.
About Us
Founded by Madeleine Gandhi and Sean Landis in 2021, Fruit Box Theatre is an independent LGBTQIA+SB theatre company based on Gadigal Land (Sydney, Australia). Our mission is to strengthen intersectional representation, build community through storytelling, and lead creative processes guided by connection, integrity and respect.
We develop and produce original works that explore the spectrum of queer life – beyond tropes of shame, isolation and discomfort.
Fruit Box takes creative works from conception to fruition by collaborating with our community.
