Ithica is a darkly comic gay psychological farce set inside the implosion of a secret Australian intelligence agency.

People disappear. Nobody knows why. Dead spies, political power, rogue technology and damaged lives collide as the institutions meant to protect people become increasingly concerned with protecting themselves.

Moving between military espionage, government secrecy, psychological tension and absurd human behaviour, Ithica looks behind the polished public face of authority and into the machinery underneath.

At its centre are people trying to survive systems that have stopped making sense — and sometimes stopped caring whether anyone survives them.

Dark, provocative and deliberately irreverent, Ithica mixes political thriller, psychological thriller, dystopian fiction and dark humour.

And yes — it’s a comedy.
