Bloomshed

Following the success of Animal Farm (Darebin Arts Speakeasy, 2023) and A Dodgeball Named Desire (fortyfivedownstairs, 2023), Zilla & Brook managed the publicity for The Importance of Being Earnest,  Bloomshed’s latest take-down of high society. Frills, finery, and frivolity.

Bloomshed makes critically acclaimed award-winning theatre, pushing the boundaries of what live art is and can be. From immersive installations to radical reimaginings of classic texts, the company mixes big political ideas with entertaining and accessible storytelling. Bloomshed’s work is a high-octane mess of delicious diatribe, dance breaks, and doom scrolling.

Since its inception in 2014, Bloomshed has created twelve new and adapted works, presenting at Darebin Arts Speakeasy, Common Rooms x Melbourne Fringe, Theatre Works, Blue Room Theatre, Old 505, Platform Arts, The Butterfly Club, The Wedge, and La Mama Theatre. Bloomshed examines major political issues that attend our era: climate change, class inequality, and corporate greed. They are continually in a dialogue about new ways to reach their audience and empower communities to enact positive change.

Zilla & Brook has achieved extensive coverage for three Bloomshed shows, including reviews in The Age, interviews on 3RRR, as well as editorial in Herald Sun and Time Out Melbourne.
