A play that refuses to be background noise is making waves at this year’s Adelaide Fringe. The Cry of the Hour is not just theatre—it’s a call to action. Raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic, it drags an uncomfortable but necessary conversation into the spotlight. Violence against women isn’t an abstract issue, and this production ensures audiences leave with that reality etched in their minds.
Set against the backdrop of a world that too often looks the other way, the play takes audiences into the lives of women who have endured abuse in its many forms. The narrative doesn’t just linger on suffering—it pushes forward, demanding recognition and response. Emotional, urgent, and performed with conviction, The Cry of the Hour doesn’t just tell a story, it hands the audience a responsibility.
Theatre has long been a platform for difficult conversations, but this production does more than highlight injustice—it actively calls on its viewers to be part of the change. The play challenges bystanders, urging them to step beyond passive sympathy and into action. It speaks directly to younger generations, asking them to be the ones who refuse to let silence win.
As the Fringe continues to showcase bold artistic expressions, The Cry of the Hour ensures that one of society’s most pressing issues isn’t lost in the festivities. This isn’t just a performance—it’s an urgent confrontation with a reality too many choose to ignore. For those in Adelaide or heading to the festival, this is the show that will stay with you long after the final bow.
Performance Details: Dates: 6th, 7th & 9th March 2025 • Venue: Star Theatre, Adelaide
