Chasing the Lollyman is back for NAIDOC WEEK 5-8 July!

After a sellout season at Metro Arts and a hugely successful trip to The Dreaming Festival, this critically acclaimed production is back in Brisbane for one week only, at the State Library of Queensland. Come and see Chasing the Lollyman before it heads off on tour to Melbourne and North Queensland.

Starring Mark Sheppard    Directed by Liz Skitch

Hot on the heels from a successful national tour, State Library of Queensland presents Chasing the Lollyman during NAIDOC week. Highlighting the creative talents of deBASE productions and Mark Sheppard, one of Queensland’s most dynamic and funniest Indigenous performers, this one man show is a celebration of urban Indigenous identity and takes a satirical look at the media and popular culture. Playing a variety of characters and weaving stand up with storytelling and a good dose of clown, Mark pokes fun at everything from Neighbours (what would it be like if a Murri family moved into Ramsey Street?) to an episode of Getaway (taking a look at Australia’s best kept secret – Queensland Missions!).

Education Performance: Suitable for Prep to Year 4

Two clowns are waiting. They have been waiting a terribly long time. One clown is determined to follow the rules and sit still. The other tries to keep boredom at arm’s length by playing games.

Sometimes waiting can feel like forever. This play explores how two clowns have no choice but to pass the time by using their imaginations. They dine on food that appears out of thin air, use simple items to create amazing new worlds and discover an entire universe inside a hat! But do they get what they are waiting for …


Queensland Theatre Company is pleased to work with deBASE productions, the team behind the hit show Lily Can’t Sleep, to create this brand new show for primary schools. deBASE has a unique working style based on playing games and using various comic styles to create magical worlds where the imagination takes hold and reality is left far behind.
