Presented by: The New Olympia Theatre in conjunction with Company Island Grunt Pty Ltd
The New Olympia Theatre Company and Island Grunt Pty Ltd, have produced the first and only cinematic film of a live production of a completely original Australian rock musical, The Island of Doctor Moron®. The film is what producer, Chris Dockrill, calls a 'high-powered, hybrid film' which uses modern film and audio technology to provide an intensely intimate and moving experience of this unique live show which smashes through the ‘fourth wall’ and delivers in perfect 5.1 surround sound. To date, the film has been screened across Australia almost every week since its sell-out launch at The Dendy Opera Quays in March 2016. It will be in the USA and Europe within the next 12 months. The film has screened in large, medium and boutique cinemas, live theatres, small to large community halls and recently at the Published Arthouse in Adelaide. Each screening is an exclusive event; DVDs will not be available nor has the film been syndicated. The Fringe Festival screening is a one-off.
