WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

Music, Lyrics, and Book: Lindsey Kraft

Directed by: Lindsey Kraft and Ben Folds

In her Adelaide Fringe debut, celebrated actor and songwriter Lindsey Kraft presents a heartfelt and hilarious one woman musical inspired by her real life decision, at 40, to finally learn piano because the songs in her head simply would not stay quiet any longer.

These original songs form the beating heart of this intimate, funny and deeply moving show, dreamed into being by an artist brave enough to start something entirely new.

Lindsey Kraft is known for her television roles in Grace and Frankie and Netflix’s Obliterated. She is currently appearing as a special guest on Ben Folds’ tour (and Ben will "be the band" for her Fringe performances!)

Ten years ago, my best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to be given a Viking burial. So I gave him one.

HOw not to make it in america

Written and Directed by Emily Steel

My acting teacher said to me: It’s like gold dust, what you’ve got. It’s like you don’t have any skin. 

It’s 2001. A naive young Australian actor sets out to make it in New York. But then 9/11 brings down the Twin Towers, his high-school sweetheart dumps him, and his visa expires. What do you do when your dreams collapse around you?

25 years after the events of September 11 changed the world, Theatre Republic brings this funny, moving, one-man show to the Fringe. Inspired by real-life experiences of playwright Emily Steel

Too Clowns

Written by Damien Warren-Smith

Directed by Olivia Jacobs

Performed by Garry Starr

This is a very clowns show. Probably too clowns for most. It’s about loneliness and grief and cream pies to the face.

Emma Holland: THe Dog Dies at the start

Written and Directed by Emma Holland

I told my manager I wanted to write a show about dead dogs, and she said “oh god” but that’s not really my problem; it’s her job to market it. This show isn’t sad, you will leave feeling good. I promise. Thinking about asking my vet for a refund on the euthanasia just to see what happens.
