‘Lesbian Love Stories’ – playing as part of Sydney WorldPride Pride Amplified
Lesbian Love Stories is a cabaret/verbatim piece performed by three local lesbians, and one rockin’ pianist. Featuring anonymous true tales of lady love from across the globe, this heart-warming and
hilarious performance is delivered through song and speech by powerhouse women, with the vocals to match.
Natasha and Chloe have often felt that there were very few (if any) lesbian shows on stage – particularly not ones that they could relate to, or that normalised same sex relationships.
THEATRE HAUS:
it’s still sadly rare to see shows about, for and by queer women.
The show was initially intended to be a one-off performance, however after receiving an influx of messages from general audience members thanking them for their work and expressing the importance of it, the girls realised it had to continue.
Rather than following a rigid storyline, Lesbian Love Stories is a series of vignettes which showcase a variety of Queer experiences. The anonymous nature of the work allows both audience and cast members the freedom to share and explore without fear of judgement or ridicule.
After sold out seasons across multiple festivals in 2021, a regional road trip, and a cheeky Matilda Award
nomination for Best Mainstage Musical/Cabaret, The Local Lesbians are excited to be premiering their show in Melbourne/Naarm (Midsumma festival ’23) and Sydney/Gadigal (Pride Amplified, part of the Sydney WorldPride festival).
