Oh My God I’m Blak! is directed by Maryanne Sam and co-devised with Patricia Cornelius and Irine Vela. An enchanting story reflects on vivid family memories set against the struggles of cultural identity. In a one-woman show Miela Anich portrays Mary, who yearns to head back to  her roots after her nomadic and traumatic childhood.

Edging is about borders.  Borders have edges - conscious and unconscious.  ‘Natural’ and artificial.  Acceptable and unacceptable.  Borders between races, between nations, between people who have rights and people who do not have rights.  (‘We will decide…’ as our Prime Minister said.)  There are borders we impose and borders we enforce.    

These queer boys from Brisbane have been in and out of Briefs for 16 years. Naturally they’ve come often to Sydney, sporting their saucy mix of drag cabaret and circus erotics at Mardi Gras and frequently in Parramatta for Sydney Festival.

Camden’s Little Shop of Horrors is a great production, of a professional standard, full of uber talent, and fun! An excellent time is on hand.

For those unfamiliar with this cult musical, the show is set in the late 1960s USA, where young, good-natured but unlucky Seymour Krelborn works in a flower shop owned by Mr Mushnik. The shop is in Skid Row: the poor, rough, low end of town. Seymour dotes on his fellow employee Audrey, but she is dating Orin, a psychopath dentist.
