Presented by UWA Panto Society for Fringe World, The Little Good Wolf is a sweet and funny little production with a lovely message.

While not a pantomime, this little play has quite a bit of audience interaction, and while firmly aimed at Primary School aged little people, there are some lovely jokes aimed at their grown-up companions. This is also one of the shortest shows around, so great for littlies with short attention spans – running at just 30 minutes.

There’s something very equalitarian about casual gay sex. Total strangers often cross so many borders of class, nationality, background, generations and wealth to negotiate one moment of ecstasy. 

Writer Elias Jamieson Brown takes us on a Grindr date to show us how it’s done. 

Stephen Page’s magnificent, largest ever and probably last production after decades as artistic director of Bangarra blends his choreography with more theatrical forms and collaborators than ever.

Page calls it a “contemporary ceremony”; Wudjang mixes opera and musical melodies and ditties, with live musicians, singers and actors working in both English and Stephen’s ancestral dialect of Mununjali of Yugambeh country (south east Queensland).  And seventeen remarkable dancers.

I Like Bananas is a celebration of British Music Hall jazz. Fronted by Libby Hamer and Jessie Gordon with six-piece jazz band, the Hounds, this is slightly naughty, a little bit bawdy, old fashioned and funny.

Dressed in suits and straw hats, the music hall style is nicely established, and Jessie Gordon and Libby Hamer sing beautifully and entertain with style.
