 Rogue
Artists Ensemble and The Powerhouse Theatre
Company offers you the chance to win tickets to Angus Oblong’s
The Victorian Hotel.
When a young couple checks into a beautiful old hotel
for a weekend getaway, the resident ghosts and
ghouls do their best to provide a raucous and spine-tingling
welcome. Celebrated and eccentric illustrator Angus
Oblong (Adult Swim’s The Oblongs) has created
a living cartoon, and The Rogues, a collective of multi-disciplinary
artists and designers, bring it gleefully to life.
An over-the-top thriller comedy thriller not suitable
for children - but perfect for adults.
Tickets
are valid for Saturday, November 25th at 2pm.
