One Strange Night at the Jumbuck Hotel is a taut, darkly comic thriller set entirely inside a forgotten outback pub — where the wrong words, the wrong strangers, and something lurking in the dark collide in one suffocating night. A raw, confronting and genuinely unsettling debut from local playwright Ethan Cook.
