Anything You Can Do

A radical romp for the old and young

They say traditions are dying. They say it’s because of the internet. They say human connection is being lost.

Hold onto your hats and tuck in your shirt as experimental theatre company Pony Cam round up a group of mature local legends and bold baby boomers to bring you a show about time, grief, and sex – naturally.

In this collaborative inter-generational work, local community members mitigate intergenerational myths, debunk age differences, and tackle the tropes that refuse to retire.

Share in a uniquely playful, provocative and personal space, developed over a two-month process with the help of local community members. The result? Real humans spinning hard truths, wild stories, and some downright believable lies.

Anything You Can Do is a moving and timely reminder that you know jack about age. It’s never the same show twice, but it’s always as funny as it is fearless.

Prepare for a wild ride that’s anything but over the hill.

“The gleefully subversive approach to performance breaks down traditional modes to create an immediate, welcoming and joyful theatrical experience.” – The Age

“Anything You Can Do is thoughtful and wild, probing and comical, moving and an assault to the senses. Pony Cam’s work is like nothing else on Melbourne’s stages right now – and that’s good for young and old!” – Theatre First

“A joyful celebration of either ends of life.” – Television is Furniture
