Peter Goers has trodden the Adelaide boards for more than 50 years. He’s had an eclectic career that has seen him as actor, director, TV presenter, the “critic that ate Adelaide”, and now, beloved ABC radio host. After six seasons of Fringe shows he’s back again with “yet another nice show particularly for old people” in Peter Goers is Fit, Fabulous and Nearly 50!!!

Upon entering ‘The Lark’, we are confronted by a bride lying seemingly unconscious with her leg manacled to a ball and chain. From the bride’s ‘awakening’ we are rocketed through a series of songs and sketches interspersed with video clips (to enable costume changes) highlighting the influence of bridal culture in the modern-day patriarchal society.
