A MEMBER OPPORTUNITY: Untitled No. 7, a storytelling show
I’m a Melbourne-based poet and performer who will be coming to Hobart early January (Friday 10th and Sunday12th) to perform my storytelling show, Untitled No. 7, at Fringe at the Edge of the World.
I know it’s a hectic time of the year, but I’d love to offer Hobart's Society of Women Writers discounted tickets to come and see the show
if you’re at all interested. Just use the password DISNEY when buying an Adult ticket to get $5 off.
Untitled No. 7 is a joyfully ridiculous fairy tale about the curse of
potential and the holy grail of success. It’s full of pop culture poetry, punk rage and a liberal sprinkling of interpretive dance, and has been nominated for several awards (Best Performance – 2018 Melbourne Fringe, Best Cabaret Writing –
2019 Green Room Awards).
Have a wonderful festive season, and I really hope to see you in the new year, Telia
Untitled
No. 7 at the 2020 Fringe at the Edge of the World
Dates: January 10th at 7.30 pm & January 12th at 6 pm
Venue: The Grand Poobah –
142 Liverpool St, Hobart
Bookings: https://www.trybooking.com/BGWVQ
Get $5 off any Adult ticket using the password DISNEY
About Telia Nevile: Melbourne-based
writer and performer Telia Nevile uses poetry, comedy and storytelling to explore everyday triumphs and the things we’re too ashamed to talk about. Untitled No. 7 received multiple award nominations, and critical and audience acclaim in both its 2018
Melbourne and 2019 Toronto seasons. Telia’s previous show, epic poem Poet vs Pageant, won Best Late Night Moment (2017 Montreal Fringe) and Best Emerging Writer (2015 Melbourne Fringe), and received nominations for Most Innovative Work (2018 NZ Fringe)
and Best English Performance (2017 Montreal Fringe). She has appeared at the Queensland Poetry Festival, the Castlemaine State Festival, the Melbourne Emerging Writers’ Festival, the Sydney Writers’ Festival, and the Melbourne Writers’ Festival.
