In this episode I’ll be doing a little cross promotion, as I bring you some information about Observatory Theatre’s latest production: Control by Keziah Warner.

If the series BLACK MIRROR or WESTWORLD were your cup of tea then this Australian play, about humanity’s relationship with technology, is being performed at Queensland Multicultural Centre, Brisbane, in June, under the direction of Matilda Nominee Timothy Wynn, and after doing a little research, it sounds like the show will be an experience to watch and listen.

Show runs for a strictly limited season on the ground floor auditorium at the Queensland Multicultural Centre, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane. Show involves coarse language and sexual references. Season runs 9th – 11th June 2022 with a start time of 7:30pm and a run time of 90minutes with no intermission.

In this episode I’ll be talking to you about my next intimate theatrical production Bu21 by Stuart Slade, and I ask a question to you, dear listener. Do you feel comfortable feeding your macabre thirst for shock, as you listen & watch 6 traumatized individuals strip their broken emotions down to their core in an attempt to heal & save themselves, in the horror movie we know as life?

I’ve turned my educative workshop into a site specific, interactive performance workshop, for an audience of 30, for one show only, at the Pine Rivers Heritage Museum, as part of the Anywhere Festival – Moreton Bay.

The Golden Age of Radio, otherwise known as G.A.R. was created around my love for old time radio drama and inspired by the experience I had as a kid at Movie World, in the early 90’s, where, if you were lucky, you got to put sound effects to scene from Lethal Weapon 2 on their studio backlot tour.

This is a FREE show on Sunday 22nd May at 1:00pm. Located at Old Petrie Town, 901 - 949 Dayboro Road, Whiteside.
