Trash and high art. Censorship. Gaps and silences. Girl on girl sex.
Following the successful tours of Good with Maps and The End of Winter, award-winning playwright Noëlle Janaczewska debuts an exciting new performance essay that takes us on a journey through archives, sexual politics, and a personal queer history.
Create your chosen family, fall a little bit in love with nineteenth-century poet Amy Levy, and immerse yourself in Lesbian pulp from the 1950s. This performance essay-cum-monologue mines the personal and historical power of Lesbian representation.
The Past is a Wild Party explores passionate friendships and whether a girl can be your boyfriend. Outing yourself - as someone with mental health issues. Reading The Well of Loneliness in your teens and looking for - let’s call it ‘technical information’ about girl-on-girl sex.
“Director Kate Gaul draws work of a thrillingly high standard from everyone involved, performers and production staff alike” - Sun Herald

ABOUT SIREN THEATRE CO
Siren Theatre Co is an independent theatre company based in Sydney. The company commissions and produces new Australian plays, classics, work for young people and families, partners with producing and presenting organisations to give our vital artists and audiences bold imaginative experiences.
Siren is always evolving but these things hold true: the work would look ridiculous in other mediums; always tell a good story; keep the actor at the centre of the work; don’t add to the crap in the world; the work will be beautiful, rigorous, imaginative and timely.
Telling female - centred stories and interpreting plays through a female - centred lens is important. This is key to many programming decisions. Not exclusively. But preferably.
$35 – $45 AUD + BF
