We kill two birds with one stone at the start of tonight’s show…  it’s the first show of October, so that means Josh Lowe from Theatre Network Australia is here…  but it’s also the first week of Melbourne Fringe and our second Focus on Fringe segment, so it makes sense that TNA Member of the Month, Min Hetzel, is also presenting a Fringe event – Solace, a digital sensory experience at the State Library of Victoria…

And sticking with Fringe, we head down to the banks of the Birrarung, the Yarra, to meet Jason Tamiru who’s preparing to take us on a promenade performance from Fed Square down along the riverbank and back again. The event is Yelinguth LIVE and it might be the only time you’re asked to leave you phone on for a performance.

But not every show is part of Fringe…  Petra Kalive and Xanthe Beesley are directing the Union House Theatre production of Summer of the Seventeenth Doll which was first performed at Melbourne Uni in the Union Theatre in 1955…  and here’s the same play almost seventy years later, but not in the same Union Theatre…  there’s a brand new Union Theatre on campus and Petra and Xanthe will invite us in to have a squiz while we talk about the play…

And finally, it’s time to catch up on all the latest Screens & Streams with Marc Gracie…

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
