From the organiser
Two teenagers. A car. An outback crime spree. Multi-award-winning writer Jamie Hornsby's debut five-star play makes its debut Funhaus Performance.
On a warm summer night, two teens disappear from a neighbourhood barbecue, fleeing to the outback on a reckless, robbery-fueled road trip. But they soon learn that escape isn't that easy.. and fires can burn beyond control.
The debut play from multi-award-winning South Australian playwright Jamie Hornsby, direct from Sydney and Adelaide Fringe. Superbly directed by Joshua Maxwell, because there was fire is a darkly comic coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the burning Australian bush.

Finalist: Best Theatre Newcastle Fringe 2026
