Dirty Pennies Theatre Project, the acclaimed team behind Lemon Tree on Dreg Street, proudly brings Melbourne audiences a premiere gothic suburban horror this Summer. Running in partnership with the Geelong Arts Centre and Theatre Works, this new Australian work promises to be a wild ride full of spooks, heart, and slime.
Young couple Lou and Maud are broke after yet another unsuccessful round of IVF, but life takes a surprising upturn when they inherit a house from an estranged relative. However, as they strive to assimilate in their pristine new neighbourhood things start to go horribly awry because of the monster they have living inside their home.
A monster named Jerry.
A fantastical genre-warping production that explores the terror of planning for the future in an increasingly frightening world, Our Monster’s Name is Jerry is a captivating new work that spotlights the monsters we wrestle with and the lengths we’ll go to keep them at bay. Running for a limited season, Our Monster’s Name is Jerry is an exciting addition to the 2025 ‘With Theatre Works’ season, not to be missed!
