La Mama CourthouseFlash Donahsis a gritty and entertaining expose of young working-classwomen in 1880s Melbourne, with stories of the struggles of real women and the flamboyant world of the popular stage. The glittering world of Bourke Street on a Saturday night was only a 'stones throw' away from the brothels and opium-dens of Little Lonsdale Street. Talk of the dangers of the 'larriken menace' was everywhere and 'respectable society' was fearful for the futureof the Colony of victoria> Çanakkale/GallipoliStoryteller Jan 'Yaeei' Wositzky (Bushwackers Band etc) re-tells Gallipoli with Turkish and Australian literature, music and dong.

CarmillaAfter a sell-out run in La Mama's 2016 Explorations series,Carmilla rises from the grave for a full session. It is a ghost story for theatre, enmeshing spoken word and through-composed music for live chamber orchestra, This adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's controversal 1872 gothic novella explores violence, transfressive sexuality and the fragile boundary between the living and the dead.
