Overview

You've got your whole life to spend night's lazing at home, having a quiet one – why not, for once, watch someone else do the exact same thing in a non-creepy way. In the latest intimate performance by QUT graduate and and PhD candidate Belinda Locke , audiences are willingly asked to indulge in a peek behind one woman's closed doors – no strings attached.

This already highly credited performance, Maureen O'Hara Spends a Quite Night at Home, is inspired by the 1946 photograph by the same name, taken by Peter Stackpole. Returning home from a glamorous social event, the character of O'Hara unwravels her vulnerabilities exposing the everyday strains and pains of celebrity and femininity.

A strikingly beautiful devised performance set to a soundtrack of 1940s big band, jazz and French electro-pop, this solo performance shares the intimacy of O'Hara's private moments, seductive nature and deepest anxieties.
