The Queen in Me
Combining comedy, drama, and plenty of opera, this vibrant show by interdisciplinary artist Teiya Kasahara 笠原貞野 (they/them) gives a voice to the Queen of the Night, who explores how the rigid conventions of race, gender, and sexuality in opera prevent one of the greatest art forms from reaching its kaleidoscopic potential.
The Queen In Me features a range of colourful arias from some of the world’s most well-loved operas: Puccini’s La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, and Manon Lescaut; Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor; Verdi’s Macbeth and Rigoletto; R. Strauss’ Salome; and Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard’s The Remix Live is a chance for Eddie, inspired by her ever loyal audiences, to remix and re-imagine her favorite bits from her entire career. Eddie’s 35 years of sellout comedy shows stretch from “The Ambassadors” in 1993 to “Wunderbar” in 2019. Ever wondered what became of Darth Vader and Mr. Stevens or the monkey in the tree, did the pears ever ripen… and will God ever appear?
It’s a glorious chance to ‘maybe’ find out the answers or discover more questions to those Izzard conundrums. No night will be exactly the same, so as ever with Eddie, expect the unexpected. This show promises to be a beautiful, hilarious journey spanning a 35-year career of thought provoking, intelligent and surreal ideas. Who could resist?
