Shapeshifting water rat wants to eat a baby…
Rakali is an award winning horror-black comedy from the team behind Robert the Octopus. A millennial couple move from Melbourne to a houseboat in a remote part of Tasmania with their newborn. They think they’ve found paradise. But life in the sticks is less than idyllic. One night, a water rat crawls aboard and transforms into a human. He wants to steal and eat their baby.
Returning after a sold out debut season, winner “Best Performer” (Green Room Awards) and nominated “Best Theatre” (Melbourne Fringe), Rakali is a twisted and hilarious new work of Australian Gothic theatre.
Rakali brings together some of Naarm’s most exciting independent theatre makers. Written by Alex Duncan (Malthouse Playwright in Development 2025), directed by Alice Darling (The Fence) and performed by Alexandra Aldrich, Lily Fish and John Shearman.
