Rare Bird ensemble brings the bar to life in a heady mix of flavour, flair and fantasy, tracing familiar stories of longing, reinvention, and the delicate art of holding it all together.
"A love letter to theatre, to film – a love letter to life! A brave embrace of all the things we need right now."
Pull up a barstool and savour a finely crafted cocktail of story, classic jazz and intoxicating hospitality, raising a glass to the people, places and poets that shape you. Praised for its wit, warmth and irresistible charm, these Tales from a Young Mixer are equal parts hilarious, mesmerising and disarming – transporting audiences from the banks of the Murrumbidgee to the heights of Manhattan.
Drawing on the intimate style and traditions of the cocktail bar and cabaret, Love & Forgetting blurs the line between patron and performer, service and stage, memory and make-believe – a world where theatre meets hospitality, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
