BATSHIT is a wildly theatrical, darkly comic, and deeply intimate reckoning with the myths and misconceptions of female madness. Fresh from an award-winning run at Edinburgh Fringe, the renegade feminist, guttural, and Prozac-laden dark comedy returns to Brisbane Festival.A requiem for the creator’s grandmother Gwen, who was incarcerated for seeking independence in 1960s Australia, BATSHIT draws on personal stories, in-depth research, and pop culture to unpack how psychiatry has been shaped by gender bias.
Created by psycho-siren Leah Shelton (AU) and directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez (UK), this one-woman tour de force tears apart the labels used to control and undermine women through razor-sharp wit, raw storytelling, and unflinching performance.
This project was supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body. BATSHIT was developed with the assistance of Metro Arts and Vulcana.
