A tale of modern women, about nothing and everything.
About this Event

Turning 25 is an absurd play about modern women who discuss important things, such as: Do you believe in God? Do you think humanity is ultimately evil? Do you think you can separate the art from the artist? Do you think your friend's new boyfriend is ugly? Have you been here before? Does it even matter?

Witness Unnamed Woman and John's Wife discuss, gossip and complain about nothing and everything. Maybe underneath all that negativity, they'll find the meaning of life and a woman's purpose. Perhaps they'll get distracted talking about so-and-so's proposal; it was hilarious, after all.

Inspired by Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot, absurdist philosophy and comedy, and feminist texts such as Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, Turning 25 aims to capture the tumultuous terror of being a modern woman. It's deep, it's sad, it's funny (hopefully), and it's very silly. Come see it.

Directed by: Georgie Hindle and Matthew Cavagnino
Written by: Georgie Hindle
Starring: Gillian Mosenthal and Eleni Vettos

FAQs

What time should I get there?

At least 30 minutes before the show. Our performances start bang on time and it takes a hot second to welcome you into the building.

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

The Butterfly Club is a licensed venue. Accordingly, patrons under 18 are only allowed on premises in the company of a parent or legal guardian.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

We strongly encourage using public transport. The Butterfly Club is a short stroll from Flinders Street station and Melbourne Central, and an even shorter stroll from any tram that travels through Swanston or Collins Streets (get off at Town Hall).

How can I contact the venue with any questions?

Please call The Butterfly Club on 03 9663 8107 or reply to your email confirmation.

What's the refund policy?

All sales are final: exceptions are made in extraordinary circumstances at the Club's sole discretion.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No. Our team have a record of all attendees updated in real time and will be able to let you in whether you bring a printed copy of your ticket or not.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

Yes. It happens all the time. It's totally fine.
