Under the Paris Sky
A glittering evening ‘Under the Paris Sky’ is filled with French language songs, from Piaf to the contemporary works of Zaz, interwoven with hilarious fun. You’ll be swept away by the beauty of the music and die laughing at the comical characters ... and you don't even need to speak French!
Georgia Darcy has been described by various reviewers as a “joy to watch, mesmerising” a “Powerhouse” and “Glittering”. Specialist French-content reviewer, Matilda Marseillaise says: "Georgia is ethereal in 'Under the Paris Sky'. You cannot ignore her stage presence. Our eyes were fixed on her throughout the show. We could have listened to her for hours…. Her voice is hypnotizing, the show resplendent… she sings Piaf in such a way that we could think we were listening to Piaf herself." Georgia’s love of the French language is obvious as she shares it with guests, taking us on a poetic journey through the story and metaphor of the songs before singing in French, thus we can follow whilst enjoying the beauty of the “language of love” sung with passion and eloquence. There is plenty of comedy as Cecile (played by Georgia’s wife, Louise Lawson) returns to create mischief and mayhem as Georgia’s French maid (who does no cleaning). Maestro Simon Walters has flown over from Melbourne to accompany Georgia for this Cabaret Fringe 2022 – his playing is breathtaking. “A truly wonderful show” – come with us to Paris for a night to remember. |

Jerez Flamenco
Jerez Flamenco will showcase four incredibly talented artists from Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía, all renowned exponents of traditional pure Flamenco from its birthplace. They are some of the most respected and recognised artists of today.
This 90-minute performance of pure masculine energy evokes the spirit of long warm afternoons by the Alcázar, Feria del Caballo (Andalusian horses), church bells tolling in the gypsy suburbs of Santiago, San Miguel and The Plazuela, the finest Jerez sherry and families gathering in the neighbourhood for a street fiesta. Song and dance is a natural rhythm to a Flamenco way of life. |

Sporadic Productions presents this account of a doomed sea captain, his fracturing crew, and their undead stowaway, bringing a deep, character driven horror / drama to the Adelaide Fringe. |

Midway To Nowhere
Australia, winter, 1952, and a group of New Australians, migrants from devastated post-war Europe, awaits release from the limbo of life in an Australian migrant camp. These include Greeks, Italians and Serbs. Recent rioters have burnt down camp buildings, triggering armoured intervention by the army. Powerless, the migrants wage war against the camp administration, each other and themselves. Based on actual events at Bonegilla, the most famous of all migrant camps, “Midway to Nowhere” relates a chapter in Australia’s history whose telling is well overdue. This exciting new play is at turns funny, sad, angry and painful. A play that will appeal on many levels: historically, sociologically; and philosophically, it is a play for all times and all Australians, old and new.
