Performance 17^th July Carlton La Mama Theatre Faraday Street.

'quests to prove love, find secrets and speak unspoken names'

Hot Braziers in a courtyard then benches in a dim space. Taverna lighting. Paper-roll screens upstage like long paper leaves and to our right...sand at their feet - to draw and throw and wipe a boundary to the past, our historical homeland. All next to the bright gaze of a crowned Father's face a flexing mirror.

The King's train arrives but he is passing and his daughters will remain. To earn his love and a part of his power they must convince him of their devotion. Proof of faith of love.

Transports in video media – seascapes, skyscapes, passing trains. King Lear – granite-grim mortals vs the elements. Yiddish King Lear - family meals and fireside lessons with the miracle happy ending....

This leads to an amazing story, where the conclusion doesn’t come about until almost 60-years later! Among the plethora of fascinating stories comes one of how Nancy became involved in the world of live theater came to sing and dance in front of Lady Mountbatten.

Stephen K Amos performing at Athenaeum Theatre as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2014.

Stephen K Amos has huge funny bone action going on. From the start he had Thursday nights full house at Melbourne’s Anthenaeum Theatre in his pocket and he played with us like the seasoned international comedic professional he is.

Evenly paced, engaging, his timing didn’t miss a beat. He easily merged impromptu and very funny dialogue with people in the first couple of rows and hecklers in the stalls weaving their responses into his written script, breezing through the show like the comedic maestro he is with resounding laughter and applauses with every punchline.

Actor and storyteller, the very cultured Stephen K took us on a hilarious, psychedelic ride from puberty and beyond. There is little better than great comedy.

SECOND WAVE FEMINISM HAS ITS SYMBOLIC ROOTS IN THE WOMEN’S PEACE CAMPS AT GREENHAM COMMON IN THE 1980S.



The title of Wendy Bacon’s article in New Matilda ‘ – The Gutting and Gagging of Feminist Women’s Refuges in NSW – gets straight to the heart of the matter. ”More than 25 feminist women’s refuges in NSW have lost their government funding,” she says, ”with their buildings being handed over to religious or other charities. Many shelters will no longer focus on providing Specialist services for domestic violence victims. And the attack on services for Aboriginal communities has been eSpecially savage.’ Outsourcing to the lowest bidder is a rationale that is as much ideological as it is economic. Services run for decades dedicated women fully conversant with the feminist discourse on domestic violence, with a deep understanding of and empathy for victims, will now be provided charities such as Mission Australia or The Samaritans, charities whose busin...
