Absurd, explosive, and painfully familiar.
The Natural Horse is a dark comedy about power, family, and how far we’ll go to maintain a myth. The Kareninas, a family of ex-Soviet immigrants, struggle to maintain their familial relationships after their eldest daughter, Masha, adopts a feral horse named Goodboy and brings him to live in their comfortable suburban home.
Presented by award-winning indie company Salad Days Collective, this debut Australian season gallops into Brisbane Festival with guts, grime, and glitter.
