Wish I'd Said That at Ipswich Civic Centre


Mother & Son star returns to Ipswich in a wonderful one man show!


Henri Szeps stars in his latest one-man show, the touching and hilarious, 'Wish I'd Said That', which proves that ‘all the world may be a stage' but not everyone is a star.

Joe Bleakley is a 'retired' actor who reached for the stars but never got much further than mediocrity. Forced into the Foggadieu Retirement Village by his daughter Valerie, Joe decides that he will stage a performance for the other residents and puts together a selection of his favourite speeches from some of the great roles he never got to play.

Throughout the course of the show, we are treated to excerpts from 'King Lear', 'Teahouse of the August Moon', and nuggets of wisdom from Neil Simon, Eugene O'Neill and Oscar Hammerstein II. In between we learn of Joe's troubled relationship with his daughter, his two failed marriages and his disappointment at never having quite 'made it' as an actor. All peppered with humorous anecdotes, jokes, songs and observations about life, family and getting older.

John Waters "Looking Through A Glass Onion"

The National Tour of “Looking Through A Glass Onion” commenced in November 2010 at the Sydney Opera House, with a sell out 2 week season the production quickly extended throughout 2011 taking in over 30,000 ticket sales nationally to be the ‘highest selling Australian Artist tour in 2011”.

“Its been fantastic the response the show is receiving, especially from the younger audiences that are coming along, some of whom were not even born when Lennon and The Beatles were recording and releasing their music, it’s a testament to the legacy of the man and his music that still excites and intrigues people to this day” says Waters. A homage to the music, mystery and memory of John Lennon.

Lady Gaga to Tour Australia this June-July

Lady Gaga is promising Australian fans fireworks when she returns for six shows as part of her Born This Way world tour.

The pop megastar will play arena dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in June and July with the singer hinting at adding dates.

'The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage,' Gaga said in a statement.

'The Born This Way Ball is an electro-metal pop-opera; the tale of the beginning, the genesis of the kingdom of Fame.

'How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.'

The eccentric singer has been teasing fans on Twitter and Facebook with sketches of her stage design and posted a picture of the first official tour poster.

Coloured in a black and white palette with purple and green highlights, it shows the star's alien alter ego appearing in the cloudy night sky over a castle.

Renowned for her quirky art, Gaga brought her lavish stage show to Sydney last July for her one-off Monster Hall performance.

Promising fans she would be back, Australians will be among the first to see the world tour after dates in Asia and New Zealand.

Tickets go on sale on February 17 at livenation.com.au with advance tickets available to Visa card holders from 9am Monday morning.
