This Is Permanent
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and Third Culture Kids
Tattoo parlours: a nexus of
pleasure and pain, the sacred
meets the profane, and private
experiences are transformed into
permanent works of art. This is a
show about tattoos, but not as
you have ever experienced them. Part poetry, part history
lesson, and part show and tell, see how an ancient art form
became part of modern, feminist rebellion.

Troy Story
Presented by Black Martini Productions
The Iliad is a very long poem and
nobody has time for that. But
you do have time for puppets,
colloquialisms, pop culture references
and everything but the
kitchen sink. Sit back for an hour
to experience some culture in a
modern, engaging way so you can brag to your friends that
you know the story of Homer’s epic poem.

Waterloo
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and Bron Batten
For the past four years Bron has
had an intimate friendship with
a high ranking military official.
He’s a right-wing, cigar smoking,
Margaret Thatcher loving conservative
and she’s a lefty, greens
voting, almost vegan performance artist. This is their story.
“Far more than a tale about unlikely lovers… Astonishing”
Time Out.

Whisper White
Presented by The Strawboat Collective
On a hot summer day, Marcus
and his five friends gather to
celebrate Australia Day. They
share gourmet food and a
smorgasbord of cocktails. Much
frivolity, rapid-fire conversations
and political fracas abound. Two
years later, Marcus looks back on that fun-filled, intoxicating
occasion and reflects on what made it such a life-changing
experience.

Wil Greenway: These
Trees The Autumn
Leaves Alone
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and Dead Man Label
This is a story about courage
and cowardice. It is about proper
Melbourne autumn storms. It is
about being together. Internationally
acclaimed storyteller and FRINGE WORLD stalwart
Wil Greenway returns once again, with a show to wash the
rest of the world away. “One of the most masterful storytellers
I have ever seen” Ed Fringe Review.

You’ve Got Mail
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and Sotto
Meg Ryan is looking for love
on the internet. She meets a
kind and thoughtful stranger
in a chatroom. It’s Tom Hanks.
We all know and love this story,
right? Wrong. A weird and wild
homage to the loved and hated 90s film descends into
camp, uncanny parody; cybersex, a tight hour of laughs, and
so-bad-they’re-good Hollywood tropes.
