Merrigong Theatre Company present one of the funniest, most outrageously original shows to ever hit the stage, Carl Bland’s absurdist comedy Mr Red Light at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from 2 to 5 July 2025.

Mr Red Light is a man who attracts bad luck. So naturally, when he tries to rob a bank he fails miserably – and ends up in a pie shop dealing with three very uncooperative hostages and the world’s worst police negotiator. As time ticks by, Mr Red Light and his captives play a game of getting to know you. With nowhere to run and nothing to lose, they form an unlikely bond. And mysteriously, Mr Red Light seems to know more about his hostages’ lives than is possible.

Mr Red Light is a fool, or maybe a prophet. Either way, he’ll remind audiences how wonderful life can be.
