I am clay and dirt and spirit and breath and dream and denial and desire and rage and hope all rolled into one unknowable mass, lying in wait to bestow upon you a gift. A realisation. An anxiety. A truth undeniable. All rendered without language in pure, intangible thought.
At the start of the show each audience member is given a small FM radio and a pair of headphones. Inside the Studio Underground, the traditional stage is replaced by a skeletal, wall-less 1970s cabin, allowing the audience to roam freely around the perimeter and look into every room simultaneously.
By toggling between five different radio frequencies, viewers can tune into the specific audio feed of individual characters — eavesdropping on private conversations, uncovering internal monologues, and listening to a tense, atmospheric soundtrack. This innovative setup transforms a weekend getaway between four friends and a mysterious stranger into a deeply voyeuristic, psychological puzzle, where the audience must stitch together their own unique narrative path to uncover the truth of the haunting mystery.
Set against the isolated backdrop of a remote family cabin, Logue Lake is a tense psychological thriller fuelled by repressed desire and long-buried grief. The story revolves around Michael and Alex, two best friends who fell in love during high school. While Alex eventually came out of the closet and moved on, Michael chose to stay deeply closeted. Years later, Michael is now dating Carrie, who — unaware of her boyfriend's hidden past — has organised a weekend getaway to Logue Lake with the secret intention of proposing to him. Alex has tagged along, determined to use the weekend to prove to himself, and to Michael, that he is finally over their past romance.
The underlying romantic and emotional tensions reach a breaking point with the arrival of Hugh, a mysterious hiker who seeks shelter at the cabin. As the night unfolds, Hugh's presence begins to warp reality inside the isolated house. In a surreal, horror-infused twist, Hugh gradually transforms into an exact physical double of Michael. However, this manifestation represents everything Michael has suppressed: he is a version of Michael who is entirely unburdened by shame and capable of loving Alex openly. As this supernatural double forces the characters to confront the lies they've been living, the weekend spirals into a haunting, voyeuristic climax where secret identities and repressed truths can no longer stay hidden in the dark.
Logue Lake is a show with scenes occurring simultaneously. To accommodate this, we formatted the script in both a horizontal and a vertical fashion. For the sake of the actors, we also produced unique scripts for each of them, containing just their scenes. The master script has all the scenes together; the scene map shows how they fit together, and which occur simultaneously.
