Four of Perth’s independent theatre companies are getting together for a range of performances at the Subiaco Arts Centre Stage from the 8th of June to the 2nd of July. The 2016 festival (previously known as the Independent Theatre Festival) supports local artists and gives them the opportunity to showcase their works to a wider audience.
Opening the festival on 8 June will be The Last Great Hunt with FAG/STAG, which is written and performed by Jeffrey Jay Fowler and Chris Isaacs. Winner of Best Performance at the Melbourne Fringe, FAG/STAG asks what it means to have a best mate when you’re stuck being your worst self.
Playwright Damon Lockwood will deliver a tale of love gained and lost I (Honestly) Love You, which will be staged June 10-18.
From 22 – 25 June, Lost Boys Theatre will present Moving On Inc. written and directed by Mikala Westall. This comedy asks the big questions about love, last words and the illusive nature of memory.
The final production of the season will be Second Chance Theatre’s Coincidences at the End of Time from 29 June to 2 July. Writer and director Scott McArdle asks – In the countdown to the apocalypse, who would you like to spend your final moments with?
This year the Festival will be partnering with seven local businesses to offer the taste of Subiaco to theatre-goers. For those not tempted to explore further afield, the Centre will also be offering light bites from Beaumonde Catering.
Tickets are on sale now through Ticketek.
