A reckless, intoxicating love letter to the subconscious.
The Irresistible is an exploration of the invisible and insidious nature of unconscious bias, told through multiple parallel narratives that intersect through mystery and sci-fi. Locations and time bleed into one another with dream-like fluidity as performers transition from one character to the next at breakneck-speed. Strange lights in the sky, black ooze, a smoke filled box and a child with otherworldly powers – the mysterious and unexplained permeates every moment of The Irresistible, and will throw you off guard and leave the fringes of your mind resonating with a feeling that is just out of reach
2018 Helpmann Award Nominee for Best Play, The Irresistible is intoxicatingly creepy, reminiscent of Stranger Things and Twin Peaks. This bold and original new work is the exceptional first collaboration between Side Pony Productions (The Confidence Man, The Pride) and The Last Great Hunt (Falling through Clouds, The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer)
