Performance: Turn, Turn, Turn - a new play
Far in the future, another planet is dying. The next great migration is happening; thousands of people racing from one world to the next. On an old freighter, destined to become their future home, four individuals are thrown together. Struggling with nostalgia for Earth Seven, the crew must decide how much they will risk to get to the next world first. For two weeks at Theatre Works from Sept 13 to Sept 23. [more inside]

Howdy, Perth and WA MetaFilter! As you may have guessed from my funny accent in this post, I'm not from around here. under_petticoat_rule and I have been gratefully "stuck" in Oceania due to COVID and are now visiting your fine city. We heard that, like Angelenos, Perthians (Perthers?) like brunch. Care to join us, say at Local & Aesthetic?

I'll be landing in Sydney on the morning of Sunday April 24th, and was wondering if folks would be up for drinks / food / keeping me awake until 10pm to fight off jetlag.
I'm staying near Wynyard station and I've been following the BS around the lock out laws, so really have no idea what would be a place worth meeting up at.
