WIN a double pass to see Candy Royalle
Candy Royalle’s cutting edge underground poetry show, Stories By Starlight rides a wave of success after theatres were packed at Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival in January.
Dreadlocked and colourful Candy Royalle now heads to Adelaide Fringe to wow audiences from 1-4 March, 2012 at Queens Theatre at 9pm.
An eclectic collaboration between Candy Royalle and three piece instrumentalists Sloppy Joe, Stories by Starlight combines spontaneous musical improvisation, explosive theatrics, burlesque and more - seducing the darker side of the human psyche.
Candy Royalle is one of the must-see stars of Australia’s alternative poetry movement. A young veteran of the festival scene, Royalle is revered by modern day poets and word-loving audiences for her powerful verse and deep voice. They lend an almost soulful edge to her performances.
Royalle says fans of underground entertainment are in for a real treat.
“Stories by Starlight tackles everything from love and sex to social injustice. Expect a journey of self-discovery, some great tunes and even a little burlesque,” she says.
