DEEP-HEAT RIVALRY

Ashley and Scott aim low for their laughs, seldom straying above the waist.” – Sydney Morning Herald

Guaranteed to offend everyone equally, this topical and risque revue-style cabaret leaves no sacred cow unpricked” – The Age

This is brilliant, funny, wicked theatre.” – Stage Whispers

In the high-stakes, high-speed world of professional ice hockey, rivalries run deep… but this one runs hotter.

DEEP-HEAT RIVALRY follows sworn enemies Shane Hollandaise and Ilya Stroganoff — two outrageously talented, aggressively handsome hockey superstars whose on-ice clashes are the stuff of legend. But behind the bruises, body checks, and barely concealed tension lies a secret neither man is prepared to face: they are madly, inconveniently, and spectacularly in love.

Loosely inspired by a certain hit TV series (and we mean very loosely), this filthy new parody written and directed by Oliver-nominated Trevor Ashley, crashes together locker-room drama, forbidden romance, parody songs, and absolutely no understanding of sport whatsoever.

Expect full-frontal nudity. Expect power ballads. Expect power plays. Expect emotional meltdowns in tiny towels.

With outrageous comedy, shameless innuendo, and a score that ranges from power ballad to party pop, DEEP-HEAT RIVALRY is less about hockey… and more about hooking up.

It’s not just a rivalry.
It’s a full-contact comedy.
