A rollicking queer Western like nothing you've seen before. In a sleepy town in the Wild West, the women drift through their days like tumbleweed. Their husbands, swept up in the goldrush, have been missing for almost a year and show no sign of returning. In fact, the town is almost cut off from outsiders entirely, with only one drunken sheriff for protection. That is until handsome bandit Jack Cannon swaggers up to the town’s saloon, looking for a place to hide from the bounty hunters on his tail. Armed with a wink, and a gun by his side, Jack’s explosive arrival inspires a gender revolution, and starts a fire under the petticoat of every one of the town’s inhabitants. There’s a whole lot of singing and dancing, a climactic shoot-out, and it’s guaranteed you’ll leave the theatre smiling. This is a rollicking good time and a great way to end the year.

Jack Kearney’s kitchen sinker, Born on a Thursday takes three hours to traverse ten months, a calendar stroll through 1999. Did a year really unfurl at such glacial pace back then?
Vivacious and virtuosic, Pinchgut Opera’s intimate rendition is rooted deeply in research and the practice of historical performance, yet unmistakably Sydney – unmistakably Australian – in its swift, vibrant, and exhilarating delivery.
