What’s On: Dark Vanilla Jungle & Tonight with Donny Stixx (The X Collective)


Dark Vanilla Jungle & Tonight with Donny Stixx

11 – 26 April 2024

Holy Trinity Church Hall, 141 Brookes St, Fortitude Valley


The X Collective presents a double bill of Philip Ridley plays to open 2024 – bold, evocative, and unapologetically honest, these plays invite you to confront the depths of the human experience in all its beauty and brutality.

In Dark Vanilla Jungle, journey into the turbulent psyche of a young woman navigating love, loss, and the darkness within. Ridley’s masterful storytelling delves deep into the complexities of human emotion, leaving audiences spellbound until the very end.

Then, brace yourself for Tonight with Donny Stixx, a haunting exploration of fame, identity, and the relentless pursuit of validation. As Donny Stixx grapples with the pressures of his own ambition, Ridley delivers a searing commentary on the price of success in a world driven by spectacle.
