Pt 3 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 where @DanielLammin asks what the fucking point of art is - and may have made me cry with his answer.

Pt 2 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 with @FleurKilpatrick, who has used all the tools in her artist's belt in the last couple years, & she didn't burn down her caravan late at night . #IndieTheatre #IndieMedia @RiverlandYouthT https://t.co/NzSxV8VDmR

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

Pt 2 #WhatMelbourneLoved21 with @little_ones . #IndieTheatre is still happening #IndieMedia are still here. This series had a break last year, but we've still been making & creating & it's awesome to hear what artists have been up to. https://t.co/NzSxV8VDmR

MY BRILLIANT CAREER @LaMamaTheatre is a refreshingly complex & engaging telling of the book, which comes from an understanding that loves & questions Miles Franklin. With a wonderful cast. Finishes on Sunday. I really hope it gets another season.

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

It's been a while but #WhatMelbourneLoved21 is back with your favourite long-time contributors telling us what they loved about theatre in 21 ( & 20) Part 1 with @BarkingSpiderTh @burstsgnlsymfny https://t.co/HY9ZGbPUMk

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

It’s about to Zoom. #MelbFringe #ArtGuidesTheWay. See what artists do with piles of useless Fringe Guides. Tix are free. Get them on the Fringe site. Who’s going?

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

Captivating exciting new writing. #cactus @LaMamaTheatre captures the authentic voice & experience of teenage woman with an understanding that never dismisses or trivialises as it reflects on fertility in ways that reach through generations. & best description of a dick ever.

[Tim Byrne @tbyrne74]

Just home from @VictorianOpera's #Lorelei. If there's a smarter, funnier, more melodious overhaul of myth in opera, I haven't seen it. Three superb singers, glorious design and a tonal control that can undercut the myth's romanticism while celebrating it. Don't miss this!!

[OperaChaser @OperaChaser]

Poignantly bittersweet, endlessly entertaining and fiercely rich musically, @VictorianOpera’s Lorelei is fucking (😬 definitely not short on its own use of expletives) everything you want from theatre. What a joy it is to have it back and could very well be one for eons to come.

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

Exquisite. Fucking exquisite. #Lorelei @VictorianOpera is mind-blowing feminist anti-opera opera that’s made from all the heart, hope & despair of all women’s stories. I wanted to cry & cheer & scream & squeal. Seriously unmissable.

[Witness @witnessperform]

Midsumma show F*ck Fabulous is exhilarating variety that celebrates every kind of queerness, says @SometimesMelb. @midsumma

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

I'm thrilled to be in @witnessperform & talking about the #MICF show that I saw twice because @LouisaWall10 is that good, & a total Melbourne Independent Celebratory Feminist. This one will be seen again. Don't hesitate.

[Witness @witnessperform]

"The last time I felt so devastated after a comedy show was the first time I saw Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette." @SometimesMelb on Lou Wall's @micomfestival show That One Time I Joined The Illuminati.

Get your ticket now b4 @LocalCollins #ImNotAMime @butterflyclub #MICF books out. As queer, positive and embracing as it is absurd, non-sensical, enlightening and smart. Makes me want to write #ImNotACritic

[Blake Everett @blakeverett]

Personal and precise; @LocalCollins creates the tightest hour of their career and fills it to the brim with subtext galore. A perfected articulation of where they currently are in terms of comedy and life #micf #show84

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

Last #MICF weekend! You can still buy a shovel & see @blakeverett @OliverLColeman #DTOG. It buries the rest. It piles up the laughs. Dig deep to find a way to see it. Be gravely disappointed if you miss it.

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]

Yesterday, I said I saw this a while ago. I didn’t. It was another show. However, I have no doubt that this one is just as awesome. #NeverTrustACritic except when we tell you a #MICF artist is worth seeing!

[Anne-Marie Peard @SometimesMelb]
