The Dead Devils of Cockle Creek

Working out of a small shack in the isolated wilds of south-western Tasmania, George, an environmental scientist, is trying to save the world one Tassie Devil at a time. Since she was a small girl she has dreamt of halting the advance of climate change, but saving a species in the middle of nowhere will have to do, for now. Sharing the cramped shack with George is Harris, a ranger with an annoying chicken nugget obsession, who has been charged with bringing a feral dog plague under control to help protect George’s work with the devils.

Across one night, when two unexpected visitors trigger a series of events, George is going to discover that ideology can only take you so far when sometimes the problem just needs a damned good beating.

Working with some of Brisbane’s best creatives, Cut & Run Productions’ limited season of The Dead Devils of Cockle Creek by Kathryn Marquet will push the boundaries of politics, power and hilarity. Even the staging - crafted with 100% reused, reloved and recycled materials - begs the question: “can’t we do better for ourselves and our planet?”
