Showcasing the anthology Into Your Arms - Nick Cave's Songs Reimagined (Fremantle Press 2023), this special evening event will draw on the evocative music and words of Nick Cave to bring to life three original and unsettling tales of crime, faith, violence and love.
“In creating this anthology, each contributor has selected a Nick Cave classic, dug deep into the lyrics, basked in its mood, and reimagined it in their own inimitable style.”
Featuring readings from three local writers and collaborators on this anthology, Rhett Davis, Toni Jordan and Mark Smith (also a co-curator on the project), complemented by the directional brilliance of MC Vin Maskell and the music of the acclaimed Stereo Stories band, this event will combine words and music in a way that is guaranteed to inspire the storyteller in all of us.
Please arrive for doors at 5pm, with the show commencing at 5:30pm sharp. Canapes and drinks will be provided during interval.
Tickets $65pp OR $55pp for GRLC Members (free to join).
