8—20 March 2022

As part of our 2022 Festival Edition, we asked our colleagues at InReview to nominate some artists they think we shouldn’t miss this festival season.

Freelance writer, regular InReview contributor and inaugural recipient of the Helpmann Academy InReview Mentorship Michelle Wakim gave us some tips in the genre of theatre, including Taylor Nobes and Mikayla Rudd, whose work Does It Please You? is happening as part of the Adelaide Fringe.

Here are Michelle’s words:

Taylor Nobes and Mikayla Rudd are the creators of Adelaide-based theatre company Too Dumb Blondes, and they return with a revised version of their 2021 award winning show Does It Please You? This year’s Final Saga addresses the stigma around mental health and is described as “a defiant war-cry against anyone and anything that makes you doubt your worth”. While the themes are heavy, the show is filled with laugh-out-loud comedy, original songs, and even some dance numbers, taking audiences on an emotional rollercoaster through life’s most hilarious, vulnerable and grotesque moments.
