Tenielle Plunkett’s solo performance, We Were Promised Honey!, is set to captivate Milton audiences at PIP Theatre with a series of vivid, surreal scenes exploring human experience and the distant future.
A Festival Highlight
The intimate 60-minute show We Were Promised Honey! features surreal scenes, from a baby born in a lighthouse to a spaceship on the edge of a black hole, exploring the fate of its audience across time. Everything in the narrative is predetermined, creating a meditation on endings and what comes after.
The show runs from 15 November to 5 December 2025, with 7:00 pm evening performances, and tickets are available through the PIP Theatre box office and online. It is part of PIP Theatre’s annual Toucan Club festival, which brings experimental theatre to Brisbane’s inner suburbs and engages local audiences with bold storytelling.
About the Performance
Plunkett’s performance explores extreme and symbolic scenarios, including a person on fire in a desert, lovers reunited in a sun-scorched city, and other moments that stretch imagination and emotional boundaries.
The production’s abstract narrative does not follow a traditional timeline, instead presenting isolated, surreal vignettes that ask the audience to reflect on life, endings, and the distant future.
Community Engagement
The PIP Theatre presentation offers Milton residents a rare opportunity to experience international-calibre theatre locally.
The venue encourages community attendance and engagement, inviting audiences to reflect on universal themes within a compact, immersive space. The festival fosters dialogue and connection among theatre-goers, highlighting local cultural participation.
Ticketing and Accessibility
Tickets for the show range from $40 to $50, with concession and group pricing available.
Audience members are advised the performance contains adult themes, loud noises, strobe lighting, and coarse language.
PIP Theatre encourages early booking due to limited seating and the show’s intimate format.
