3 - 18 October Fixed Foot Productions presents
CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT
Written by Mary Rachel Brown & Jamie Oxenbould
Directed by Mary Rachel Brown
An AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
They’re watching. They’re judging. They still want dinner. Welcome to the hilarious, heartfelt world of your pet’s inner life.
Ever wondered WTF your pet is thinking and feeling? Chicken In A Biscuit might just help you find out.
From a grieving pug owner to a bunny-obsessed dentist, Chicken In A Biscuit is a series of bittersweet monologues starring Amanda Bishop and Jamie Oxenbould exploring how our animals can make – or break – our hearts.
The two performers inhabit a cast of humans, dogs, and one particularly vivacious cat, in a funny, moving, and sometimes bizarre night where unconditional love comes with teeth.
How do our pets have the ability to rescue us from loneliness, annoy us, unconditionally adore us, hold us to account, and reflect our true nature? Through the eyes of both pet and owner, we explore what it means to be truly known.

Note: ticketing for Mainstage productions at the Old Fitz Theatre operate on a Dynamic Pricing model. This system means prices increase in line with audience demand (determined by capacity targets), and ensures we are able to provide cheaper tickets for a period whilst also making sure artists - who are often contracted on a profit share basis - get paid. In the interest of full transparency, the structure of the model can be viewed in full on our Welcome page. Concession tickets will never exceed $60.50, and previews and Cheap Tuesday’s will be capped at $38.50 and will not scale.
