Red Stitch presents the world premiere of The Rites Of Evil by Australian playwright and actor Travis Cotton as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. A bizarre and hilarious play about paranoia, isolation and friendship, The Rites of Evil shows how delusion can become infectious in the land of the lost.

Xavier and Easter are chance acquaintances on the nether side of life, troubled and unstable misfits for whom elaborate conspiracy theories offer the only haven of certainty in a world that offers them so little. When Xavier tries to help his new friend he unwittingly sets in motion a course of action that threatens catastrophe for them both.
