ANIMUS-C.png

Midnight. A forrest. Three boys. Breathing. Still. If you stare into the dark long enough, soon enough the darkness stares back...


Three boys on the cusp of manhood meet in the thick of the woods, under the light of the moon, like a pack of wolves ready to rip one another to shreds if it means survival. But as midnight strikes, their intentions for meeting becoming clear and... well... I can’t tell you what happens next.

From the creatives that brought you the critically acclaimed Wrath, Animus is a new horror play by Liam Maguire that shines a torchlight on the horrors of Australian masculine culture. With an original score from internationally acclaimed songwriter, Ben Abraham and one of the most exciting new voices in Australian theatre, this is a theatrical experience unlike anything you’ve seen.
