​​

Perth, 2012. Four years after migrating to Perth from the Philippines, aspiring primary school teacher Bhing works as a massage therapist. Scott, a coal miner, arrives for his appointment, full of tension and unreasonable demands. 

​

Through a series of massage appointments, the two bring their polarising values and expectations of masculine friendship and intimacy to the forefront.​

REVIEWS

​

"Meticulously considered, cleverly constructed and deeply felt, One Hour No Oil explores toxic masculinity, racism and poverty, amongst many other things, for a portrait of contemporary life that is both familiar yet profoundly revelatory."

- Suzie Goes See

​

★★★★½ "The intricate weave of high-quality writing, outstanding ensemble performances, movement and physicality, sound, music and lighting combine to deliver a profound and powerful play that is superbly acted. Without a doubt, One Hour No Oil deserves a larger and wider audience."

- ArtsHub
