FROM THE WRITER OF BUCKET BOY AND APPLE FACE COMES A THRILLING NEW INDIE COMEDY. WOLF BISCUIT, BY PIERRE MALHERBE, DEBUTS AT THE OUTLORE BASE THEATRE OCTOBER 2025.
Written and directed by Pierre Malherbe, WOLF BISCUIT is an absurdist two-hander bro-mantic comedy-drama starring Andrew Roux and Brett Williams. Roux and Williams play work colleagues trying to survive in a cut-throat industry and navigate their love/hate relationship. These intrepid characters will take you on a surreal journey through betrayal, deception, and different-sized coffee mugs.
If you’ve ever put a shoe in a postbox, spilled beer on a Labrador, or placed a baguette in a car boot in Kraaifontein, then WOLF BISCUIT is the life-altering show you’ve been waiting for.
Malherbe’s darkly comedic production toys with the fragility of uneasy companionship, balancing the mundane and the menacing, pulling the audience into a bizarre and unpredictable world for an experience that is as unsettling as it is hilarious.
WOLF BISCUIT will be onstage at The Outlore Base
