Queerstories
 

Returning by popular demand for its fourth year, Riverside Theatres presents Maeve Marsden’s crowd favourite Queerstories, for one night only, on Saturday 12th February. Queerstories celebrates the culture and creativity of the LGBTQI+ community, one true story at a time. 

Vulnerable and fierce, hilarious and heartbreaking, Queerstories will feature incredible local storytellers sharing the stories they want to tell, but are never asked to; unexpected tales of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance.  

A national storytelling project directed by Maeve Marsden, Queerstories has sold out at festivals and independent venues around the country, with a book and an award-winning podcast boasting more than 250 stories. 

The production will feature a stellar line up of storytellers from Western Sydney, including poet and writer, Gloria Demillo, drag king and improv Queen, Laura Hart, scientist and Palestinian advocate Fahad Ali, writer Eda Gunaydin, fighter and ACON Program Coordinator Adrian Mouhajer, and choreographer and spoken word poet Jeremy Santos.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
