Elaborate costumes, fantastical personas, and sweet sweet guitar riffs.  

Beyond the humorous, ironic façade of an air guitar performance there is real sincerity in what it offers those who participate. 

This week’s story, from Rob Pollard, is not just about impaling yourself on a mimed instrument or smashing it to smithereens - it’s also a story about family.  And how the experiences we share with our loved ones end up being the ones that mean the most.

Barefaced Stories are told live onstage in Western Australia.

BAREFACED STORIES

REFRESHINGLY HONEST. BOLD. AND BRUTALLY FRANK.

You wouldn't believe what happens in a state that's four times the size of Texas but with less than 3 million people rattling around in it. All that space, where no-one can hear you scream, or laugh, or cry. Shit happens here (with a very Australian accent). Barefaced Stories are the true stories told by people raised under a chroma blue sky, on powdery white beaches, in aqua-clear waters and occasionally, deep down in the dirt - some are humourous, some are sad and some downright perverse.

Created in 2010 by performers Andrea Gibbs and Kerry O’Sullivan (“the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of Australian storytelling” – Richard Fidler ABC Radio), Barefaced Stories is honest, risk-taking, refreshing entertainment that hits the spot.
