Crow’s Nest
by Nic Davidson.
Presented by The Velvet Collective and The Travelling Rose Theatre at The Station, Fortitude Valley. 31st of July- 3rd of August, 2025. Queensland Premiere.
Three equally problematic and dysfunctional roommates take action into their own hands when they are suddenly handed an eviction notice. With their dilapidated Queenslander to be sold after the recent death of their landlord, the three young artists fight for what they believe is theirs. Protest and politics reveal detrimental aspects of both themselves and their close-knit relationship, and one choice changes their lives forever.
Crow’s Nest explores the paradox of unliveable housing, all of its costs, and a very real crisis.
