In The Temple, we are not ourselves.
No-one ever really wants to be boring old ‘just me’. That’s why the residents of The Temple are always being someone else. Feel free to jump in. It’s a liberating exercise that is really catching on.
It is an orgy of comedic performers offering a short course on How to Be Human composed of a group session of gags, traumas, banter and tantrums—each as hysterical as the last.
Dubliner Gavin Quinn concocts a wild Irish brew with Australian ingredients, including Ash Flanders (Blackie Blackie Brown), Mish Grigor (Ich Nibber Dibber), Aljin Abella and Marcus McKenzie.
