Finding Connie
 

A lost voice. A hidden voice. A woman ahead of her time.

Finding Connie is a 60-minute concert interwoven with storytelling, uncovering the life and songs of Connie Converse — a songwriter who disappeared without a trace in 1974.

Written through the 1950s, Connie’s folk-inspired songs were never released in her lifetime. After her disappearance, her recordings remained virtually unheard for more than 35 years. When they finally resurfaced, they revealed a body of work that was intimate, fearless, and astonishingly ahead of its time.

Presented by Mirabilis Collective as part of FRINGE WORLD Festival, this reimagined Fringe show features a stripped-back quintet and the luminous voice of Luce Nicholls, bringing Connie’s music into the light.

    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.

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

    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.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • 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.
