Cabaret will return to the Adelaide stage when dynamic duo Amelia Ryan and Michael Griffiths split the bill with Victoria Falconer for Friday Feels at Nexus Arts.

Griffiths and Ryan will present the first half of the show, called Feels Early, while Falconer – who is back home from her usual London base – will curate and host the Feels Late segment.

Ryan says they will be joined by “an incredible array of artists, who are at home here in beautiful Adelaide due to COVID-19”.

Guests will include showgirl singer Libby O’Donovan, State Theatre artistic director Mitchell Butel and drag royalty Kween Kong.

Falconer is best known as co-creator of the hit feminist troupe Fringe Wives Club and one half of duo EastEnd Cabaret.

“We celebrate the unapologetically real, the outrageously queer, the playful and the provocative,” she says.
