Shelter by Julia Finn
20 - 24 May 2025, 7.30 pm
Jess and Ross are trapped in a survival bunker - they can hear something enormous and hungry desperately trying to claw them out. They are safe in the bunker, from the homophobia and transphobia of the outside world, from Jess' brother who locked them inside. With each other as their only company, they use each other to affirm that they are loveable, that they are weak, that they are cruel. They use each other for pleasure and self-hatred.
Shelter was written by Julia Finn, a trans woman and lesbian, as an exploration of queerness and monstrosity. The script interrogates the desire to self-isolate, with the acknowledgment of harm that internalized hatred can bring to loved ones, relationships, and yourself.
The show runs for 60 minutes without an interval. This is a 18+ show.
