AT MELBOURNE FRINGE FOR 2 SHOWS ONLY
“If these young people stick together, they could really go far!”
Thus spoke a long-forgotten judge of the 1991 Talent Quest at St John’s Regional College, Dandenong, when Geraldine and her brother Nicholas took first place. Two competitive siblings with one dream of a music career. Then he got a “normal job”, and she went into comedy. Could things get any worse? Hell yes!
After playing to sold out crowds with a blistering come-back show 'BROAD' in 2022, Geraldine Quinn returned to Malthouse Theatre with her most personal show to date - again playing to full houses. Quinn (Spicks & Specks, Upper Middle Bogan, The Weekly, The Project) followed up her Most Outstanding Show and third Golden Gibbo Award nominations with a beautiful original cabaret about love, death, rivalry, grief and the beyond-lifeline of playing music.
Directed by Declan Fay (Ronny Chieng: International Student, Dirty Laundry Live), this is a strictly limited two show season of the cabaret that swept the Green Room Awards this year, so don't miss out on a chance to see what one audience member described as "a perfect way to demonstrate how art can be poignant, funny, devastating and healing".
'The Passion of Saint Nicholas' is a show about the joy of music, following your heart, the friction of divergent paths, and keeping the band together when you lose your biggest cheerleader.
