Like Me - Mongrel Mouth

Overview

Immersive theatre experts Mongrel Mouth are returning to The Rocks in June. Last year, they took you deep into The Age of Entitlement. This time, they’re going to lock you inside a 166-year-old mansion in The Rocks, where nine ex-psych patients, drugged with narcissism, will be let loose. Obsessed with selfies and power struggles, let still seeking love, they flounder and flail in a world without meaning.

You’ll have eight rooms and two levels to explore. And you’ll be free to wander at will, getting as close to the action as your fear — or sense of humour — can handle.

"This show submerges the audience into a world of pure madness, where nonsense in the new normal," says Mongrel Mouth and Like Me director Duncan Maurice. "It is inspired by French dramatic master Jacques Lecoq’s Bouffon, which features a performance style based on clownish mockery and the absolute ridiculous. This style of comedy gives us hope, as laughter might be the only we have left to save our sanity.”
