Fly-On-The-Wall Theatre is one of Melbourne’s most distinctive, popular + well-known theatre companies. From the beginning the company created theatre like frustrated filmmakers. No other theatre company in Melbourne, perhaps Australia lavishes such attention on aesthetic + mise-en-scene.

Fly-On-The-Wall Theatre’s considerable output in the 22 years has been slick, detailed + astonishingly varied, becoming Melbourne’s cult theatre company. It has ranged from the dizzying spectacle of The Miracle of the Rose at the Old Melbourne Gaol + at the Upstairs Belvoir Street Theatre to the heights of sophistication + gentility in the company’s main recreations of 1920’s with The Death of Peter Pan, The Object of Desire + the sell-out site specific seasons of Loving Friends and An Indian Summer.

Fly-On-The-Wall Theatre has also premiered acclaimed, award-winning plays The Hive + the cult grunge classic In Angel Gear, literary adaptations for open-air theatre in historical sites + mansions of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Women in Love, The Great Gatsby, The Turn of the Screw + performed a number of groundbreaking, salacious + sometimes shocking plays All That I Will Ever Be, like the internationally successful Homme Fatale – yet it is equally at home mounting quality family shows like Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables + Seven Little Australians.
