Everything in Australia Can Kill You

A bloody good musical!

Bruce Vickers and Sheila Hackett are tasked with developing Tourism Australia’s Tourism 2018 campaign. After discovering a series of online memes claiming that everything in Australia can kill you, they petition their boss and perennial job-hopper Scott Morrison to host a group of tourists for a journey across the country as a PR ploy.

Once the tourists arrive, no one is safe. Before the trip even begins, a maple-syrup-flavored bloodbath taints the prospect of an idyllic journey. Throughout their travels across southern Australia, the group sings, discovers, and flirts with disaster in cities, the ocean, and the Outback. As Bruce wonders if the trip is cursed, the audience is left to wonder if Bruce and Sheila will ever be able to let their true feelings for each other out of their mouths.

Bodies start to pile up, and the climax of the show reveals an excessively-planned scheme to discredit the Land Down Under and push the rest of the world to turn their backs on the Lucky Country. Does this spell the end of the tourism industry in Australia? Who is really behind the online campaign to demonize their beautiful land? And what is a barbecued snag?
