Trash Talk will play at IPAC from January 29 to February 2 before opening at Sydney's Riverside Theatres on February 14, 2020.
Merrigong Theatre's latest collaboration with The Disability Trust, follows on from Strangeway Ensemble's hugely successful inaugural production, 2017's The Outside Man.
Trash Talk features many of the same cast in the inaugural production as well as director Anne-Louise Rentell.
Set in a fictional recycling depot of an Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE), Trash Talk explores some of the workplace issues faced by people living with disabilities, drawing inspiration from the ensemble members' own experiences.
"We have continued our creative process of developing the show through improvisations and drawing on the cast's personal experiences and interests," Rentell said.
"It's been fantastic working in a highly imaginative space with hard-hitting truths to create a powerful piece of theatre by a talented group of people."
