Octopolis - A Stage Play

14 - 24 MAY 2025

PIP Theatre

A rom-com with two actors - and one octopus. Smart, surprising and moving, Octopolis is a funny and fascinating exploration of what makes us human.

Meet George: professor, octopus expert and…professional hermit? Her most intimate relationship these days is with the clever Frances, an octopus she obsessively studies. Never leaving her cloistered university accommodation, George is content with sunrise yoga and not checking her inbox.

Enter Harry: an anthropologist with big theories and even bigger ambitions. He's French and a Doctor, so he's a pretty big deal. His latest idea? A groundbreaking new theory about Frances that could change George's world forever…

Sparks fly, tanks bubble, and somewhere between the academic rivalry and tangled tentacles, the two of them might just uncover something new about themselves, Frances, and human-kind itself.​​

Directed by local Brisbane legend Bronwyn Nayler, this show is not to be missed. If you like your theatre funny, thought-provoking, and just a little bit saucy....book your tickets today!
