Dark Arcadia

[Australia, 2023]

Love. Revenge. Rebellion.

After the public shaming of one of their friends at school, three young women cook up their own unique brand of revenge.

Dark Arcadia is a story about love. A story about revenge. And a story about the validity (or not) of taking justice into our own hands.

Examining the colliding worlds of rebelling teenagers and the adults charged with their care, inspired by world events and gender politics, this gothic fantasy is the next project from the universe of the internationally award-winning Shakespeare Republic, written and directed by Australian actor/writer and director, Sally McLean.

Dark Arcadia … something wicked this way comes …
