A group of friends drive back to a holiday campground to complete the passion project they started in the 1990s: a camcorder slasher film that was violently (appropriate) and mysteriously (intriguing) cut short by tragedy. But back at the remote site, pressure mounts. They are increasingly torn - and increasingly disappear - raising questions about friendship, betrayal - and whether they will ever finish 'Campervan'.

Melbourne cabaret indie stalwart Geraldine Quinn (‘Spicks & Specks’, ‘Ground Up’, ‘The Project’) finally turns her seasoned hand (ok, who seasoned my hand, it’s all salty) to music theatre with the world debut of her original Ozploitation horror comedy musical 'Campervan'.

It’s 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' meets 'American Movie' meets 'Houseboat Horror' - with a bit of 'Phantom of the Paradise' mixed in.

With a quarter of the funding already secured, visit the ‘Campervan’ campaign page if you would like to make a tax deductible* donation to the production. Turns out musicals - even fringe ones - are spenny as…SO SPENNY!

Premiering October 2026.
