The Adelaide Fringe is coming to Concordia in 2025! 'Metropolis Now', a recent work devised by Aldo Longobardi with the 2024 Year 11 Drama students, will be relaunched for a short season in the Fringe from 27 February - 1 March 2025. The play, a homage to 'Rent' and 'La Boheme', explores the challenges, power and rebellion of remaining hopeful and authentic in a society that perpetuates fear. Tickets for all four performances are available now via Fringetix.
Metropolis Now has also been selected to be supported by the Nunn Dimos Support Act initiative, offering 20 discounted tickets to the show at $10 per ticket. Get your tickets today!
