The rumours are true ... HE'S BACK!
It's the TELL-ALL of the century! Hilarious and thought-provoking, Disney Off Ice is a terrifically absurd lampoon of the man, myth and legend WALT DISNEY HIMSELF!
After decades frozen in the cryonic tank of urban legend, Disney is feeling refreshed and ready to make his mark in the new world. But times have changed. The theme parks are gone. And it’s not such a small world after all. Now, he finds himself the property of a media conglomerate and at the heel of a strict publicist determined to set him straight. Welcome to the future, Disney!
Imagining if the infamous theory of his cryonic freezing was true, this wild rollercoaster from writer Oliver Gough (X, Concrete Mirage) wonders what Disney would think about the world today.
"Outrageous and entertaining" Backstreet Brisbane
"Really impactful...an original new work that will capture the attention of audiences with interest in dystopian worlds and a hatred of capitalism and nostalgic cultishness" Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane
"Sharp, quick and packed with Disney references" Backstreet Brisbane
