Last week, Léane welcomed Annie McArthur and Holly Gallagher to discuss their upcoming production coming up this month at the Sydney Fringe Festival: Strangers Sings! The Parody Musical and She Kills Monsters. Both shows explore storylines about geeky teens playing Dungeons and Dragons in the 80s and 90s and set to incredible music from the era, drawing immediate parallels to John Hughes classic films ’The Breakfast Club; and ‘Pretty in Pink’, but with a strong LGBTQ+ representation.
In this interview, Annie, Holly and Léane talk about the history of Epiphany, LGBTQ+ representation, their participation in Sydney Fringe and more. Get to know Annie, Holly and their amazing work by listening to this podcast.
Strangers Sings! The Parody Musical is an award winning Off Broadway World musical parodying the iconic Stranger Things show. It is a hilarious ‘upside-down’ spoof on the hit Netflix series, celebrating 80s pop culture in all its campy glory! Season 5 is coming up this November so this is your perfect opportunity to catch up and get the recap you need. And remember Justice for Barb
She Kills Monsters, the iconic play by Qui Nguyen, takes you through the story of Agnes Evans after the death of her younger sister, Tilly. It is a story of love, grief, what it is like to be an outsider and lots of Dungeons and Dragons.
In this podcast, they talk about indie theatre, LGBTQ+ representation in plays and their work.
