Award-winning author Oliver Mol's debut is a true, funny and heartbreaking tale about a 10-month migraine, his recovery in Brisbane and job on the railway when he couldn't do anything else.

Performed to music by Thomas Gray & Liam Ebbs, and to visuals by Kat Chellos, it is a story of hope, laughter, pain, relationships, drugs, failed orgies, mothers, fathers and love.

Part monologue, part performance art and part essay, Train Lord collapses genre and form to create a stunning portrait of pain, creativity and failure. Achingly authentic, funny and poignant, this is a breathtakingly honest study of humanity from one of Australia’s most exciting emerging writers.

Ultimately, this is a story about fucking up and figuring it out and fucking up and finding out you’re not alone.

#ICYMI: Last chance return-stream September 26th to October 3rd. Tune in!

Reviews

★★★★★ Oliver performed in the green room after our gig in Barcelona. Wild and special. This asshole made me cry. See this or die Clarence McGuffie, Confidence Man

★★★★ Sydney author Oliver Mol delivers his autobiographical monologue with such clarity and heart ... best just go Louise Nunn, The Advertiser

★★★★ Saturated in emotional truth and unapologetically low-fi, Train Lord is testament to the powerful potential of Fringe shows that hark back to the no-frills days of the festival’s past Farrin Foster, In Daily

★★★★ Train Lord is an honest look into the circumstances surrounding us and how these can change suddenly to affect our lives Marianna Meloni, Everything Theatre
