One of These Things First

Hot Lunch are so back Melbourne!

Prior to their Adelaide Fringe debut this February, they will be performing their inaugural production, One of These Things First, at Kensington Town Hall for TWO NIGHTS ONLY.

Join them in the Supper Room for a new adaptation of this wonderful show. There will be a bar, stickers and other surprises.

About One of These Things First:

A girl dreams of being a ballerina, then a cowboy, then a CEO. A boy dreams of learning the drums. But it’s too late for all of that. They’ve grown up. The time has passed….

Or has it?

What if we did it all? Right now. In 60 mins. With nothing but an empty stage.

And props. LOADS of props.

Focused on the impossible nature of childhood career dreams, it is an epic, messy work. Ironic and physically demanding, it is a visual feast that endeavours to capture the beauty, challenges, and complexities of pursuing dreams at an age where nothing seems possible anymore.

“Continuously engaging, interesting, frantic and delightful.. Warm, cheery, sunny… Whilst also having this broody undercurrent, lower layer, of dark capitalistic melancholy” – Praise Dionysus Podcast, 2024
