Thursday 20th October 2022, 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Limited seats. One night only. Ticketed event
If you love the sound of combining theatre with exceptional cuisine and paired wines, then our Theatre Vignettes are for you!
For our October Clubhouse event, Beckett’s is serving up two excerpts from the brilliant new Australian play, “I’m With Her” by Walkley Award Winner, Victoria Midwinter Pitt (writer and director). Curated by Beckett’s founder and playwright-director, Wendy Beckett (newly returned to Australia from Greece following the tour with her new play Sappho) “I’m With Her” goes beyond standard #metoo fare to give a thrilling real-life demonstration of the power of women to outlast, outwit and outmuscle social, cultural and political obstacles.
For one-night only, icons of the Australian stage, Lynette Curran and Deborah Galanos will bring to life two very different women - nonagenarian botanist Marion Blackwell and world-renowned counter-terrorism expert and recently appointed Federal Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth Anne Aly MP.
Chef Jeff Schroeter’s superb menu for the evening will be designed to enhance the 20-minute theatrical experience, performed as an intermission to an incredible four-course dinner served in the spectacular sandstone wine cellar (specifically designed by Wendy Beckett’s set designer, Halcyon Pratt) with matched wines (non-alcoholic available) selected by Beckett’s talented Sommelier.
(Please provide dietary requirements when booking)
Tickets are $175 pp for Clubhouse members ($195 for non-members) and include the performance, four-course menu and paired wines (non-alcoholic optional).
6pm to 10pm, Thursday 20th October 2022
