WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Saturday, 16 August 2025, 2 - 3:30pm

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

La Boite Theatre and Dead Puppet Society Present A World Premiere, a show of monsters and heroes. WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is a high-octane comedy that will leave you on the edge of your seat, brought to life in a large-scale production in collaboration with Dead Puppet Society. Off the coast of Queensland, deep in the Pacific Ocean, something terrifying is stirring. Meanwhile, in Brisbane, a local student feels the tremors of its approach. No one listens to her warnings, and as the beast draws closer, she must decide what’s more dangerous—the monster, or the society that created it. Equal parts climate change thriller, schlock horror, and live-action comic book, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! is Godzilla meets The Betoota Advocate, created for a post - Greta Thunberg world. Written by Maddie Nixon, directed by Matt Seery and David Morton (Dead Puppet Society), with original music by Dean Hanson (Ball Park Music), this is a show you don’t want to sleep on!
