Q is for... Quack
Presented by Shopfront Arts Co Op

18 – 21 June 2026 | Arts Co-op in Carlton

In a smog-choked city, Benedict E. Quigley: Private Duck Detective waddles in - broke, burnt out, and on strike. What follows is a chaotic descent into a bureaucratic afterlife where nothing works, no one’s helpful, and Quigley’s detective skills are… questionable at best. 

Blending handcrafted puppetry with scale models and collage, Q is for... Quack is the directorial film debut of Marlow Lackner, an author, illustrator, puppet artist, and new-wave/alternative rock producer. 

Developed through Shopfront’s Members Production program, the event offers behind-the-scenes workshops and showings, sharing the creative process and challenges of building this richly strange world. 

They're offering a giveaway for 5 double passes for performances on 20 and 21 June. Please email rsvp@shopfront.org.au with your preferred date and time, and QUACK SEYMOUR in the subject line.

Irregular Programming returns to The Old Fitz Theatre 10 to 25 July with Martin Crimp's darkly comic thriller, Dealing With Clair.

The property market is booming. Young real estate agent Clair is helping Mike and Liz sell their London home. In an industry full of shady tactics and empty promises, the couple want to behave honourably. However, when a mysterious buyer appears, eager to settle and willing to pay cash, the price is right. But at what cost?

For your chance to win a double pass to a preview performance on 10 or 11 July, email dealingwithclair26@gmail.com with the subject Dealing With Clair Giveaway: Seymour Centre, your name and date preference.
