Duckpond
The Old 505 Theatre, Newtown

​
It’s a beautiful day at the Duckpond. Plenty of bread at the Duckpond. Everybody is happy at the Duckpond. Nobody sleeps at the Duckpond. They only eat at the Duckpond. If you’re a good duck, you can go to the Cloud.
​
Stranded after a plane crash, a flight attendant finds herself in the absurd dystopia of the Duckpond. She befriends Duck, a duck addicted to nutrient-poor white bread, and meets the Duckpond’s all-knowing dictator, Homer. What ensues is a madcap scroll through funny animal videos, clickbait listicles, and bread-related humour.
​
Switch off your smartphones for this brand new play about clickbait and the attention economy. You won’t believe what happens next!
