This newsletter is supported by Sydney Theatre Company and Artistic Director Kip Williams’ dazzling adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, showing from 3-18 February, 2023. Incorporating live and pre-recorded video, all 26 characters are entirely performed and transformed by Eryn Jean Norvill. It’s set to be electrifying and utterly original, showing for a limited season only. Under 30s tickets are just $70 from Monday to Thursday, book yours in here.

The Summer of Books is here! It’s boxing day, and we’re ready to collapse on a blanket somewhere, deep in the pages of something gripping, devastating, interesting, or just something to make us LOL. We’ve each chosen the five books on our bedside stack this summer, reply to this email to tell us what’s on your list!

SoMo’s List

Marshmallow, Victoria Hannan

I really enjoyed Adelaide-based award-winning writer, Victoria Hannah’s debut novel, Kokomo, and this is set to be even better. Still riddled with grief and its varied terrain as Kokomo was, it shows the aftermath of the death of a two year old at a birthday party through the perspectives of a group of friends who were there. Tissues packed. 

Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus

Ok here’s something a little lighter, a revenge comedy set in the 50s! Elizabeth Zott is a talented research chemist in a full-on male-dominated industry, determined to quietly rise to greatness despite the odds. It’ll be a TV show soon!
