Two men in a spotlight standing back to back, each wearing one arm of a brown jacket stretched between them.

Sabotage

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

Welcome to the layover from hell.

The Protagonist is ready to board a one-way flight to destination unknown, but a series of delays delivers an unexpected passenger, the Antagonist, his older, more accomplished self. What begins as a reunion quickly spirals into a surreal showdown: who really knows who best, and who gets to move forward?

Part Waiting for Godot, part Looper, if they were bisexual men stuck in Tullamarine, the Protagonist and Antagonist are stranded at Melbourne’s premier airport with emotional baggage to burn.

A tender battleground of ego, regret and missed connections, Sabotage skewers ambition and holds self-love under siege in a wry take on the quarter-life crisis. Because when you’re boarding a flight to nowhere, all runways lead back to you.
