A moving rehearsed reading
Amira is a child refugee from Afghanistan held in an Australian detention centre in the Pacific. Alone and afraid, her dream world cant keep her safe forever. Someone is watching. On the mainland the heat gets to Dolores and she wants out. Her decisions unleash repercussions that ignore time and space, but she’s too hot to notice. The Australian governments policy on detaining children in detention centre’s comes under the spotlight in this tale of choice and the states of being human.
Take this unique opportunity of being involved in the GAFA Creative process. Watch the showing and discuss over a meal and a drink.

Kava Girls pick of the Fringe so-so Gay!
Direct from its world premiere success at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival the Kava Girls strut their way to London for a season at the Origins Festival at Richmix, Bethnal Green.
Sinalei is a young Fa’afafine (a Samoan male who lives as a female) who has just landed her first job in a West End show. She shares the understudying twilight with the gutsy Salma and the cucumber cool Debra.
Three performers, three lives, one role.
Funny, candid and with an original score that will speak directly to your heart, Kava Girls is the play you need to see.
