Poems of a Transsexual Nature

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Have a wild, raunchy time with this new comedy work written and performed by Cynda Beare, with the help of the QUAKtheatre collective.

Lost in a reckless hypersexual haze, blending into big city Naarm, locking up memories of a blurry Queensland childhood, what happens when this young brotherboy goes to country for the first time and confronts what really matters?

Enjoy rainforest poetry, burlesque and a whole lot of laughs in this sexy blak take on coming of age.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
