🌀 The Epiphany Equation — A Buddy Comedy with Heart, Havoc, and a Whole Lot of Haggis
Brisbane 2026 — What do you get when you toss a reluctant writer, a brawny Scotsman, and a mystical quest into the stormy heather of the Highlands? A theatrical whirlwind called The Epiphany Equation — the new play by Loxlea–Danann & Walsh, heading into Production in 2026. This is not your average soul-searching Dramedy. It’s a buddy comedy, based on extraordinary true events, with mystical missteps, magnificent meltdowns, and more emotional baggage than a Ryanair flight to Inverness.
Meet Melody May Meadows: a spiritual late bloomer, emotional tornado, and vodka-sipping writer who’d rather be anywhere but here. Enter Dunphee MacDuff: bawdy, brawny, boorish, buffoonish, ballyhooed—and somehow the voice of reason. He’s persuasive like a bagpipe in a library: loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore.
Together, they mumble and stumble through trials, traumas, tantrums, tomfoolery, and topsy-turvy twists on a hilariously harrowing quest to the Scottish Highlands. Their destination? A rendezvous with the enigmatic Candle Man—who may or may not hold the key to Melody’s long-overdue epiphany.
“Sometimes the universe flips the unimaginable into the imaginable—just to make you sort out your shit.”
From clean skin vodka to questionable haggis, from emotional gridlock to spiritual whiplash, The Epiphany Equation dives deep—but never forgets to grin. It’s chaos. It’s magic. It’s a comedy with a conscience and a kilt.
