INTERVIEW: Markus Hamence is in The Jungle Room with Griffin Hewitt for his 2026 Adelaide Fringe play Cyclops: A Satyr Play. Presented by Joanne Hartstone and playing and premiering exclusively at Holden Street Theatres.
Cyclops: A Satyr Play
“The Cyclops”, Euripides’ only surviving Satyr Play, is incomplete, half-translatable, and reads like someone trying to remember The Odyssey after downing a whole bottle of ouzo. So that’s exactly what this Satyr is going to do.
This is not a Greek play, this is an interactive, queer, techno-pop fever dream of the night before – karaoke, drunk texts, bar fights and all. It asks the important questions like “What if a goat and a man had a child?” and “How did a goat and a man have a child?”
Every day, people choose between feeding the monster or saving the stranger – but this Satyr refuses to pick. He’s going to make you do it.
Supported by Talk Is Free Theatre (TIFT) – winning BEST THEATRE in ADLFringe 2020 for “Every Brilliant Thing” – Panic Theatre comes from Canada with this musical, interactive, Bootleg Bacchanalia.
Tuesday 24 February – Sunday 22 March 2026
Judy’s at HST at Holden Street Theatres
