The Alleyway Project

Overview

It seems like laneways are the location du jour of the present. Brisbane may be slightly lacking in artsy laneways when compared to the likes of Melbourne and Sydney, but The Alleyway Project is proving we can step up and show our fellow cities we're ready to challenge their creative laneway titles.

Happening this week is not a bar opening, or a suddenly free reservation at the coolest restaurant in town. Let’s just say it’s a little more theatrical. For two nights, Fortitude Valley’s Winn Lane will be transformed into a laneway version of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, well almost.

Roll out the milk crates and settle in amongst the raw concrete and ghetto graffiti to hear stories inspired by nights out in, you guessed it, the Valley. Four of Brisbane’s best playwrights, Daniel Evans, Dan Maloney, Eloise Maree and Maxine Mellor have come together under the direction of theatre buff Kat Henry to present four stories that are just as uneasy as they are a little too familiar.

Played out by your favourite Brisbane actors, The Alleyway Project is the first performance from The Alleyway Collective as part of this years highly anticipated, Anywhere Theatre Festival.

A night sure to bring back memories of previous drunken experiences, you will also receive a complimentary drink with your ticket purchase to help you begin the reminiscing.
