Gull - or - The Most Lamentable Comedie Called Love

A tongue-in-cheek Restoration Romp of bastardized history by Australia’s pre-eminent multi-award-winning “trans-queen” playwright & personality, Glace Chase. 

At the outbreak of the plague in 1665, a breeches girl and boy-player gate crash the mansion of a leading conservative and his vapid wife in a desperate bid to escape the city. But a libertine and pantomime dame have the same idea and they’ll all have to battle it out in this epic night from hell… 

With Chase’s trademark brilliant wit and outrageous daring, Gull updates Shakespeare’s cross-gendered comedies with a provocative twist for today’s feminist and queer sensibilities.  

Presented by graduating actors of South Australia’s leading actor training institution, the internationally renowned Flinders Drama Centre.

    Queer, trans, outrageous, vulgar and hilarious. Gull (Or the Most Lamentable Comedie Called Love) is a must see this Fringe season. - Neve Sargeant, On Your Markus

    I found myself having to control my breathing so I didn’t become mildly hysterical with the joy engendered - Adrian Barnes, Glam Adelaide
