May As Well Productions – Teeth & Tonic

Teeth and Tonic is a queer, feminist dark comedy about the end of an abusive relationship, patriarchal violence, and the power of chosen family. The show aims to engage audiences in challenging but necessary discussions about relationships in a safe and entertaining way. The production features a predominantly LGBTIQA+ cast and production team, many of whom are community advocates within the arts sector and beyond.

After a sold out and extended season at the 2022 Melbourne Fringe Festival, Teeth and Tonic is having its first independent season as part of La Mama Theatre’s 2024 Mainstage program, running from 18 – 28 March 2024. The Small Grant awarded to May As Well Productions will cover 2.5 artist honorarium artist fees.
