Anywhere Theatre Festival 2016

Overview

If you live in Brisbane and you're into theatre, you've probably heard about the city's venue problem. During busy times when all the usual locations are already booked, some shows can't tread our boards because there's nowhere for them to perform.

That's where Anywhere Theatre Festival comes in, transforming unlikely places into lively performance spaces since 2011. If any event proves that anywhere and everywhere can host theatre, comedy, dance, music, magic and poetry, it's this.

In 2016, 63 productions and 420 performances will grace gaols, reservoirs, rural railway stations, old skate rinks, pubs, people's homes and more — including these ten shows, our pick of the bunch.
