SLIPPERY NOMINATED FOR THREE MATILDA AWARDS 🌈🤘🏆🏆🏆👻

Nominated for BEST ENSEMBLE

Nominated for BEST COSTUME DESIGN

Nominated for LORD MAYOR’S AWARD FOR BEST NEW AUSTRALIAN WORK

I am so proud of the work of the incredible group of artists involved in making Slippery, and so incredibly chuffed for the recognition of our project ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slippery is a small independent production. We have been performing in non-theatres and in small venues. We’ve been supported by small grants and community fundraising. We’ve performed 31 shows between 2022-2024 learning and growing in our practices and building the quality of this production with every step. And it is so sexy to get this acknowledgment 🥰🥰 another gold star on truly the most shining and glittering quilt of a billion blessings and miracles!!

Congratulations to …

Our cast : Siobhan Gibbs, Gina Tay Limpus, Ben Snaith and Honor Webster-Mannison

Our costume team : Deborah Ralston and Seren Wagstaff

Our playwright and director : Esther Dougherty (me!)

And a huge thank you to our supporters VENTspace 💙 and MELT Festival .fest 🌈

And thank you to ghost #1 Grace Keane-Jones for starring in this show in its first year 💚 and for wearing the mask haha

If you have seen this show, bought some merch, donated to a fundraiser, told a friend to go see it - thank you - you got us here ⭐️⭐️⭐️

And finally … this show is about 4 non-binary people. Here in the state of QLD the trans community is under attack. You can’t have both - if you’re not standing up to transphobia then you are not allowed to lol at my show - let’s keep the government’s hands off trans healthcare and enjoy 😊 some theatre 🎭
