Courtney Act: Under The Covers
Cabaret
FRI 09 + SAT 10 FEB, 2018
Courtney has been under the covers with many, but not usually in front of a live audience. It’s time to get tucked in with all your favourite songs that have been covered in one way or another by all your favourite artists. Lay back and enjoy the caress of those romantic satin sheets as she strips some songs down, and flips others on their back to show you just how gender fluid a great song can be.
The Gatsby Gamble
Theatre / Wonderland Festival
FRI 24 + SAT 25 NOV, 2017
Step right up, and back in time to the Roaring Twenties where mystery and intrigue lies around every corner. If you like your theatre interactive and your board games alive, this is the experience you’ve been waiting for, with hilarity, surprise and adventure at every turn. Welcome to the world of Gatsby Gamble, where YOU roll the dice.
