Venus and Buttercup: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire
Presented by Joanne Tindale with Brisbane Anywhere Festival, 'Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire' is a slightly absurd short play about the loss of usefulness and the meaning of family. Ageing dairy cows Buttercup and Venus are Cowkeepers; housekeepers and surrogate parents, to 17-year-old Charlie and eleven-year-old Maxime. In this alternative world, dairy cows are bonded with a child from birth to the age of 18. As Charlie is about to turn 18, Venus must look for another job and accommodation or risk homelessness. Venue: The Paint Factory, 115 Hyde Road, Yeronga, This project is supported by a Creative Sparks grant.

She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour. From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!” this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call. Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake… Location: The Precinct, Level 2 TC Beirne Building, 315 Brunswick Street Mall, Fortitude Valley, This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.…

Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts - BRISBANE FESTIVAL - David Bailey Silent Movies
Brisbane City Council proudly presents a special series of Lord Mayor’s City Hall Concerts for Brisbane Festival. Three classic silent films brought to life with pipe organ accompaniment. As one of a rare breed of musicians, David Bailey is continuing what was once an everyday part of Australian cinema — theatre organ performance and silent film accompaniment. Bailey’s interest in the history of Brisbane’s cinemas and their organs has informed his performance style and helped him to bring the world of silent cinema to modern audiences. As a regular accompanist at the Australian Cinémathèque at GOMA, Bailey performs on the historic Wurlitzer pipe organ from Brisbane’s Regent Theatre. This instrument was once heard daily by Brisbane cinemagoers during its life at the Regent Theatre in Queen Street. For Brisbane Festival this year, Bailey will compose and perform live accompaniments for three short comedy silent films on the Brisbane City Hall Willis organ. The massive pipe organ is undoubtedly Brisbane's…

Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts - BRISBANE FESTIVAL - The Telephone
Brisbane City Council proudly presents a special series of Lord Mayor’s City Hall Concerts for Brisbane Festival. A pocket-sized rom-com opera. Sparkling soprano Katie Stenzel and characterful baritone Jon Maskell are bringing the laughs and the romance alongside virtuoso pianist Alex Raineri. The program begins with highlights of great American opera, with arias by Douglas Moore, Leonard Bernstein, and more, before moving on to the main event: Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti’s chamber opera — The Telephone. Sung in English, this pocket-sized rom-com opera follows Lucy, Ben, and the ever-present Telephone coming between them. It's a hilarious commentary on navigating technology in relationships — but who will end up as the third wheel? This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Brisbane Festival.
