Protein - Return Season

After a post-lockdown identity crisis, vegan soy-boy Charlie decides to give up pornography and hit the gay dating scene. Intimacy proves to be a disastrous distraction from self-loathing, and he soon realises that being emotionally unhinged, cynical and bored makes him a difficult romantic candidate. Also, his pet goldfish Bob is horribly depressed.

A. J. Ridefelt is a witty, no-holds-barred Melbourne-based writer and “one to watch out for” (Theatre People) as he continues to develop honest, clever, powerful and thought-provoking work. Supported and co-produced by The MC Showroom, a performance space known for its dedication to new and original theatre productions, Protein is no exception. Ridefelt shares, “Protein is an hour of non-stop chaos in the life of a messy millennial searching for love and morality in modern adulthood.”

Written and Performed by A. J. Ridefelt – Directed by Clary Riven – Original Lighting Design by Spencer Herd
