Writer‑performer Mark Wilson brings Till the Day I Die to this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival, a politically charged work staged unconventionally from the back of a truck at the Trades Hall car park. Running 1-4 October, the piece continues Wilson’s reputation for bold, socially incisive theatre that meets audiences where they are – literally and thematically.
