Ari (Danny Ball, A Beginner’s Guide to Grief) is 19 and unemployed-he doesn’t want to be gay and he doesn’t want to be Greek. He doesn’t want to be anything. Drawn by the alluring pulse of Collingwood’s gay clubs, he finds an escape, and a family in the form of drag queens and one-night stands.
Christos Tsiolkas' groundbreaking novel was first adapted as the award-winning 1998 film Head On, then reimagined as an audio adaptation in 2020. Now Loaded finally takes the mainstage with director Stephen Nicolazzo (Looking for Alibrandi) joining writers Dan Giovannoni and Christos Tsiolkas (The Slap, Merciless Gods) to present Ari’s 24-hour anarchic odyssey of self-discovery throughout the four corners of Melbourne.
Honest, raw, and passionate-a lot can happen on a sweaty night at The Peel
