Cancelled – Slap. Bang. Kiss.

BMEC has had to make the difficult decision to cancel this show. Sadly, ticket sales haven’t reached the level we need to confidently move forward and we felt it was best to make this decision now rather than waiting until the last minute to reduce disruption to your plans. We understand this may be disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding. If you’ve already purchased tickets, our Box Office team will be reaching out to you soon to help with refunds or exchanges.

Thank you again for your ongoing support and patience and we look forward to welcoming you to the venue again soon! – BMEC Team 

SLAP. A video of 16-year-old Immi hitting a security officer goes viral.

BANG. Sofia’s impassioned speech for the victims of a school shooting makes international news.

KISS. In the car park of a small-town supermarket, people rally around Darby and Daniel as they lock lips in an attempt to set the world record for the longest kiss.

Exploring themes of activism, community and hope, SLAP. BANG. KISS. tracks three young people whose stories kick-start a series of events none of them could have anticipated, transforming them into global symbols of revolution. But when their stories go viral and the whole world is watching, what will they do next?

Shortlisted for the 2021 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, this bold new play produced by Melbourne Theatre Company is from multi award-winning playwright Dan Giovannoni and directed by Katy Maudlin.

‘Director Katy Maudlin expertly utilises her team to show students across the state what a benchmark VCE Drama performance could look like.’ Arts Hub
