The Wardrobe Theatre presents: The Spanking Goddess & Other Discarded Tales

Tues 4th March - Sat 8th March 2025 7:30pm

Ticket price: $12

90 minutes (with interval)

Stellar storyteller Clare Murphy returns to The Wardrobe Theatre after a SOLD OUT run in 2024.

Clare exhumes the Celtic canon to bring the wild women who never made the cut, back into the light. A shapeshifter spanks her opponents, a queen balances on the point of a spear, a goddess is caught in a face-off with death, heroes are defeated by mother-daughter warriors, and we witness the first divorce…and the woman won.

These are not your regular myths. Expect wicked tales of badass deities, feral fighters, unorthodox sex, hairy bodies, mastery, and goddess-on-goddess battles – not for the faint-hearted and definitely for grown-ups.

“Masterly storytelling!“

Please note this performance contains descriptions of sex, bodies, sexual threat and death contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
