37 in rehearsals

Step inside the rehearsal room to see the energetic cast of 10 bringing this brand new production to the stage.

37 follows a local footy team who have spent so long at the bottom of the ladder they might as well be welded to it. This year a new hope arrives: the Marngrook cousins. Named after the Aboriginal game that inspired AFL, they’re match fit to bring home the team’s first flag in forever.

Penned by Trawlwoolway playwright Nathan Maynard, 37 hits just as hard with the laughs as it does its searing social commentary.
