Logie-winning The White Lotus actor Rob Carlton returns with a new dramatic comedy: VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT.
“My show is about the different surprises we get at different times of life. When we’re young it’s the world coming at us that can freak us out. I was 18 years old hitchhiking around Europe when a man came at me with a knife! A few years later it was me that surprised me – with my own bad behaviour. A few years after that a mate went to court and pulled off a heist we still can’t believe. And when I was 50 the shock came from loved ones, the fear came from within and it reminded me how strange and wiggly and wonderful life can be.
VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT is four true stories with four different moments of reckoning. It’s packed with laughs but grounded in the messier stuff that sneaks up on us, making life rich. Once again, it’s just me and a black chair.”
