Griffith Regional Theatre, RAREBIRD ensemble and Limone Dining are presenting a one-of-a-kind cabaret show, “Love & Forgetting – Tales from a Young Mixer,” for two nights only.
Set in the beautiful Limone Dining, this experience includes a meal and a performance to be held on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 July 2024.
Theatre Manager, Marg Andreazza said she is excited to be partnering with Limone to present a different type of theatre show.
“It’s a cabaret with a meal and it’s going to be a great night out! You can enjoy a long lazy dinner, sip on a cocktail, and enjoy the show as you are transported to yesteryear,” Ms Andreazza said.
“Love & Forgetting – Tales from a Young Mixer”, weaves fragments from classic cinema, literary icons and tunes from musicals, with stories from bartenders, as well as the artist’s own life story, blurring the boundaries between actor and audience.”
Written, produced and performed by Jeremy James and Jack Martin, of RAREBIRD ensemble, this show was a sell-out at the Melbourne Fringe Festival when it was set in the 5-star Sofitel Hotel.
Jack Martin said this is theatre like you’ve never seen it before.
“It’s a unique immersive experience performed by your bartender, raising a glass to storytelling, community and growing up in country Australia,” he said.
