BLACKPILL: REDUX
BY CHRIS PATRICK HANSEN
Did you think we were done with you, big dogs?
After a record-breaking sold-out season at Explosives Factory in 2025, the critical smash-hit BLACKPILL. storms back to open the Theatre Works 2026 season this January.
As online-based misogynistic hate communities grow both in size and vitriol, embittered members are designing increasingly effective ways to recruit and radicalise young boys behind the protection of chilling anonymity.
Dubbed ""A highly accomplished show in all areas"", ""A phenomenally well developed and executed piece of theatre"" and ""a dynamic, thoughtful, throbbing contribution to an urgent conversation"" in its first run, BLACKPILL: REDUX has reloaded BLACKPILL bigger, bolder and better than ever before.
Feedback/Comments
Great choreography!
Humour, running gag, identifiable characters, well drilled ensemble choreography, perfect interplay with technology and a driving soundscape, all comes together to create a winning formula. The young cast's obvious work ethic showed through with a well oiled delivery.
The staging and coreography had great potential but the actors delivery was unintelligible even with the text cue- left at intervals as it was too trying to follow.
