Bitch By Wayne Tunks

Event Date: 31/05/2017, 08:00 pm

The Post Family are just like every other family: completely f****d up!
A new Australian play exposes the raw, sinister - and darkly funny - underbelly of suburban Australian family life.

Prolific Sydney playwright Wayne Tunks’ latest play is a stunningly contemporary tale with relatable characters and themes of alcohol, gambling and porn addiction, family trauma, racism, gender politics and more.
And, through it all, heart-warming humour!

The Post family are the epitome of dysfunctional. Matriarch Julie is a casual racist with a drinking and pokie habit.
Son Jimmy is still reeling from trauma as a teen and 25 years later is still a seething mess of anger and sadness.
Sister Robyn works in fashion retail, but her manager, Fiona, is anything but supportive.
Robyn has 17-year-old twins, Emma is in love with douche Matt, while Clint may love his boyfriend Reid
but suspects he may have been born the wrong gender. Bitch is both gritty drama and black comedy.

Tunks Productions is one of the leading producers of quality Australian independent theatre. Its hits include The Subtle Art of Flirting, We’ll Always Have Wagga, The Bridesmaid Must Die!, Silvertop Ash, Hell Hath No Fury and Everything I Know I Learnt From Madonna.
Last year was especially huge for Tunks with Flame Trees, Fag Boy and the Married Guy and two seasons of The Girlie Show all packing them in at theatres around Australia.
Wayne Tunks has been a storyliner on Neighbours and is currently the Festival Director of Short+Sweet Sydney.

Tunks says is new Australian work that focuses on real issues people are facing today.
“These are characters that people will recognise - maybe as members of the family we see on special occasions and just shake our heads…
“I have been working on this particular play for years, adding new bit all the time,
aiming to create an important story, but more than that, a realistic story.”

Prelude In Tea: COMPOSERS IN EXILE

Event Date: 28/05/2017, 02:30 pm

NEXAS QUARTET presents the latest Sunday afternoon musical treat
The last-Sunday-of-the-month chamber music series at the spectacular - and acoustically perfect – venue has been a runaway success, offering a scrumptious afternoon tea from 2:30 as a prelude to a 3:30 concert from some of Australia's most exciting musicians.
Music, food and drink… an irresistible triple treat!

This month’s recital at the Independent Theatre, on Sunday 28 May, spotlights the Nexas Quartet with Composers in Exile, a thrilling program featuring adaptations of cabaret works by composers from the Weimar Era until World War 2.
The performance is a ‘sneak preview’ of their new show set to premiere at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in June 2017.
The musicians will be dressed as the composers Kurt Weill, Eisler, Schrecker, Korngold, and Stolz
and will talk (in character) about their lives as composers in turbulent times.

Nexas will again be collaborating with international opera sensation Peter Coleman-Wright AO
to perform lush and finely crafted interpretations specially arranged for saxophone quartet and voice.
Featuring hits such as ‘September Song’, ‘Stempellied Song’ (Song of the Worker/Stamp Song), the repertoire is taken from a new CD featuring all five artists and recorded for ABC Classics under the title Ballads of the Pleasant Life.

Nexas Quartet comprises Pennant Hills local (Dr) Michael Duke (soprano sax), Tempe's Andrew Smith (alto sax), Newcastle-born, now Central Coast-based Nathan Henshaw (tenor sax) and Wollstonecraft's Jay Byrnes (who runs the Mosman Saxophone Acadamy - baritone sax). Along with baritone soloist Peter Coleman-Wright (Pyrmont).

TALKING TO TERRORISTS By Robin Soans

Event Date: 23/05/2017, 07:30 pm

Australian Premiere of Robin Soans' TALKING TO TERRORISTS
TALKING TO TERRORISTS
By Robin Soans
By arrangement with The Agency (London) Ltd.

Australian Premiere Season.
Talking to Terrorists is a play commissioned by the Royal Court and Out of Joint in 2005. The writer Robin Soans, director Max Stafford – Clark, and actors interviewed people from around the world who have been affected by or involved in terrorism. They wanted to know what makes ordinary people do extreme things, often at a shockingly young age. The people they met, several of whom have asked not to be named, spoke candidly and often bravely.
Peacemakers, journalists and hostages. Significant figures from recent history. And those who have crossed the line. Their stories take us from Africa, Israel, Turkey, Iraq and Ireland to the heart of the British Establishment.
‘One story we heard seemed particularly significant. A relief- worker told us of arriving at a large village which had been completely destroyed. The people there were angry not because they had nothing to eat and nowhere to live but because non-one had listened to their story of what had happened. “A huge part of what we call terrorism arises from non- one listening,” she said.’ Robin Soans & Max Stafford- Clarke.
Cast includes, Mathew Costin, David D’Silva, Zuzi Fort, Kira Fort, Tiffany Joy, Alyson Standen, Kyle Stewart, Joseph JU Taylor.
