The Pigeons 2024

Have you ever dreamed of disappearing without a trace?

You want to leave. You have to stay. You want to play Scrabble, not have sex. You’re in control and you’re absolutely terrified. You’re being terrorized and no one believes you. Your psychiatrist doesn’t even remember who you are.

The worst Christmas party you’ve ever seen spirals into a chaotic tale of fake identities, sabotage, money laundering, and a desperate desire to escape.

Welcome to David Gieselmann’s The Pigeons! 

The Pigeons is a “roaringly funny” (SMH) black Christmas comedy, given a brand new production by The Other Theatre – with their signature blend of sculptural movement, music and exceptionally detailed performances. Directed by maverick theatre and opera director, Eugene Lynch (upcoming: La Serva Padrona, Pinchgut Opera), David Gieselmann’s office comedy will be brought to life by nine of Sydney’s most exciting performers. And all of this in time for Christmas! This is a night at the theatre you will not want to miss!
