Archie Roach: Tell Me Why 

A new work sharing stories and songs from Archie's new memoir and companion album. 

Not many have lived as many lives – from stolen child, teenage alcoholic, seeker, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, to social advocate and First Nations leader – but it took almost a lifetime to find who he really was.  He is Archie Roach.  His new memoir Tell Me Why (Simon and Schuster) is an intimate, moving and often confronting account of his resilience and strength of spirit, and also of a great love story. It’s an extraordinary odyssey of love and heartbreak, family and community, survival and renewal – and the healing power of music.  The companion album Tell Me Why (Bloodlines), considered Roach’s 18 song ‘magnum opus’, re-imagines eleven songs which have defined his extraordinary career. Roach voices the joy, pain and hope he found on his path through these songs to become the legendary singer-songwriter and storyteller that he is today – beloved and respected by fans worldwide.

 

 

A Cabaret Star for Hire

A recently retired showgirl discovering her new life’s purpose ... become a secret agent and uncover a global plot. 

After 10 years of writing, performing and touring internationally, Australia’s “Cabaret Queen” is quitting cabaret.

Cabaret Star For Hire is part performance-art, part Aussie opera, part physical and musical comedy extravaganza with all-original songs and hysterical musings of an artist on the brink of superstardom, or mental breakdown, or both.

Anya Anastasia showcases her bizarre and riotous CV as she publicly seeks new employment in the grips of a global pandemic. This side-splittingly funny tale of one woman’s failures lays bare the razzle-dazzle insta-glam lies of showbiz. In this brand new one woman show, Anya admits to everything she’s messed up or covered up in pursuit of her dreams. From the sublime to the ridiculous and everything in between with very relatable tales from a ruthlessly honest showgirl seeking her new life’s purpose. Do you need a cabaret star in your workplace?

Songs include an original feminist take on a Bond theme, a song for her proposed new Disney movie: “Existential Crisis The Musical”, and a heartfelt ballad “Never give up on your dreams and other terrible pieces of advice”.

Adelaide Fringe 2019 - Winner of the Best Comedy Cabaret (The Sunday Mail)

“Anya Anastasia attacks what she’s leaving and what she’s lived with the most intensely concentrated delivery of a decades long, well-honed comic schtick, downright lyric emotional honesty, and physical comedy. Blindingly Brilliant!” -Barefoot Review-
