The Strangeways Cabaret takes audiences on an antics-fuelled ride that packs a surprising emotional punch. Songs about online dating, loneliness and broken promises, along with duelling eyebrows, glamorous drag queens, and stories of killer spiders and lovelorn vampires all combine to create a joyful celebration of life and love in all its forms.
The cabaret is created by The Strangeways Ensemble, a company of neuro-diverse actors and musicians from Wollongong, who explore universal themes from their unique perspectives to find the fantastical in the mundane. They like to make work which is evocative and challenging, but also poetic and funny, and to make people think and laugh.
They are a go-getting bunch… I had the best time in their company. — Reviews by Judith
By taking the cabaret on tour, The Strangeways Ensemble are spreading the love and are excited to be including neuro-diverse and queer artists from Queanbeyan and the ACT in the lineup. With a live cabaret band and special guest artists, The Strangeways Cabaret promises unique takes on one of the most explored human emotions – love.
…a joyous piece of theatre here that showcases diversity, teamwork and a collaborative spirit. — Weekend Notes
