Hot from touring Australia as the spectral Sir Noël in the hit musical comedy, Two Old Queens, Western Australian based cabaret singer, John Michael Swinbank will make his Melbourne debut at the prestigious venue, Chapel Off Chapel in September 2008, performing his highly regarded, distinctive interpretation of the lyric gift of theatre legend, Noël Coward, following a premiere season in Perth.

In the ‘Rolls Royce’ of cabaret shows, Noël It All, John Michael takes a delicious tour through
Coward’s greatest comedy songs such as Don’t Put Your Daughter on the Stage, Mrs Worthington, Nina from Argentina, and In a Bar on the Piccola Marina as well Coward’s signature bittersweet tunes such as I’ll See You Again, Matelot and A Room with a View. Delicious tidbits of Coward contemporaries, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim are included to remind us just how good Sir Noël was at the pithy phrase and the haunting melody.

2 – 13 September
In a time of national tragedy, the world changes overnight…On September 12, 2001, Ben Harcourt (Paul Barry) finds himself in the downtown New York apartment of his lover, Abby Prescott (Rebecca Davis) – who also happens to be his boss. His endless ringing mobile haunts their conversation as Ben and Abby explore the choices now available to them in an existence different from the one they knew just the day before. Will Ben let his family know he’s alive or will he and Abby take this chance to create a new life for themselves?

The Mercy Seat continues Neil La Bute’s unflinching fascination with the often brutal realities of the war between the sexes and explores whether one can be truly opportunistic in a time of universal selflessness.

This year’s Fremantle Festival is more than meets the eye – and with the Lotterywest Street Parade less than four months away, organisers are on the hunt for community groups and organisations to TRANSFORM the streets.

The call is out to anyone and everyone to make the November 16 parade bigger and better than ever before, using the festival theme of “transform”. Whether it’s a funky float, groovy group, trendy transport or some other hip’n’happening suggestion, people are invited to be inspired and, most of all, be involved.

City of Fremantle Festival & Events Officer Siobhan Wood said the Lotterywest Street Parade – regarded as the pinnacle of the festival – is a significant way for Fremantle to come out in force to celebrate its diversity. “It’s a major drawcard that attracts a huge crowd every year,” she said. “We want the 2008 parade to come to life with people really inspired by how Fremantle is transforming in so many ways.

“This is a chance to celebrate the transformation the city has undergone since the first festival in 1905 while also showing off various visions of Fremantle in the future. “We’re looking for music, singing, instruments, performance, colour, movement and more to really bring the parade to life – and we want to make sure it’s as vibrant as ever, embracing the transform theme.

“The Lotterywest Street Parade is a real chance to transform yourself and be part of Fremantle’s largest celebration of everything that’s joyful and quirky about our port city and community.”

Lysistrata, by the great Greek playwright Aristophanes, reads like a ribald romp. After all, it’s the comical tale of a group of tenacious women who, led by the feisty Lysistrata, decide to withhold sex from their husbands to secure peace in their region.

That this ancient Greek play with its adult, earthy humour continues to resonate with today’s audiences is borne out by its many modern reincarnations. Lysistrata has been adapted to films, musicals, operas, comic books, art from Picasso to Norman Lindsay – there’s even an episode of the popular 1970s American television series M*A*S*H inspired by the story. In 2003, The Lysistrata Project was an international peace initiative in which thousands of readings of the play
were staged around the world in reaction to the looming Iraq War. Just two years ago in Columbia, a reallife drama unfolded when gangsters' wives and girlfriends – inspired by the play – declared a sex strike to force their partners to participate in a disarmament program.

With women’s roles in politics still a controversial, challenging and topical issue, it is not surprising that one of the most significant voices in late 20th Century feminism, Germaine Greer, should turn her hand to adapting the play.

Warning: This play contains frequent coarse language and sexual references.

Albert Tucker’s painterly vision absorbs the undercurrent of violence around him. Both painter and city are confronted by horror.

Unravelling her is a play created by several women who have struggled with body, eating and self. This is a play exploring a therapeutic process rather than a purely theatrical one. Many months have been spent collaboratively creating words and performance that enable us to share our collective experiences.

This collaborative inquiry has slowly explored what has become unravelled and where such an investigation can lead. Eating disorders see us constantly battle with extremes, the many girls inside us. Contemplating and acting out recovery is about us finding a certain peace in living outside one extreme or another.

It is about seeing how we unravel and dealing with the stuff related to living, instead of being consumed, distracted or safe in the issues related to eating or not eating. In this performance we hope to share with you the process of what we have done as well as what we have discovered.

Devised by Terry Hands and Barrie Ingham during their time together at the Royal Shakespeare Company, this award winning tour de force has played New York and London and toured South Africa, Australia and throughout the USA.

Barrie Ingham star of both Broadway and West End asks “Who and what is an Actor?” This ingenious solo presentation answers these questions and more, with humour and a profound use of the greatest authors of our time. The actor is everywhere and Barrie reveals how soldiers, bank managers, lovers, politicians, married couples – all of us, are all actors. We are performing for each other all the time.

The Actor is more than just a fabulous entertaining theatrical experience, it is an extraordinary treatise on the art and skill of being an actor and is a must for all students and lovers of the art.
