In a quiet private room, a group of billionaires gather to debate time, while two long-suffering political staffers try the impossible, actually get something meaningful done before they get voted out. The plan? Compromising on their morals and getting the ultra-rich to throw their weight and money behind adding a 13th month and tricking them into unwittingly endorsing a more socialist work week and by preying on their desire to play God. All this is in exchange for lifting sanctions on a self-titled fascist politician so the billionaires can do business with him. But everything has a price, and it’s more than a public servant’s salary.
This play is inspired by real events, a real idea, and a real committee that existed...twice!
Following her last play in August 2022, The Marvellous Life of Carlo Gatt, that Beat Magazine called “A beautiful, touching and thought-provoking piece that will leave you elated by the magic of human connection, ” Melbourne-based Cassandra-Elli Yanniacou is back with an exciting new political satire.
At the helm of The 13th Month’s debut is director Madeleine Diggins, whose directorial credits span from New York City to Down Under. Behind The 13th Month lies a diverse team of cast and crew, from all backgrounds and experiences.
