About the RAVAL

Laureate Productions present the performance of Love At The Bar, premiered in May at the Sydney Writers Festival. The fifteen Australian poems about love in our new production are an intoxicating mix of familiar and new, hilarious and tragic, provocative and entertaining.
Featuring Kath Ellis from Sydneys Kathellism and Hubris, David Stephenson, frontman of contemporary folk band Waiting for Guinness and singer songwriter Kathleen Williamson.

Poetry by: Julian Croft, MTC Cronin, Russel Erwin, John Forbes, Lesbia Harford, Kevin Hart, Gwen Harwood, Dorothy Hewett, John Jenkins, Kate Llewellyn, Geraldine McKenzie and Marcella Polain.

The show developed from Sydney poet, Martin Langford's research into a selection of short-listed poems. "Ten of the poems are by women writers. New territories produce new ways of saying and the women had been quick to exploit this. With both men and women exploring love in searching, risky ways, the poetry of relationship was enjoying a particularly strong period and 'Love At The Bar' is an attempt to tap into that." - Martin Langford.

Composed by Ashley Chatto the poems are brought to music and song through the vocal talent and vibrant theatrics of Katherine Ellis, from Sydney Kathellism and Hubris, David Stephenson, front-man of contemporary folk band Waiting for Guinness and singer songwriter Kathleen Williamson. Set to the vivid pop-art imagery by JD Young.

Love At The Bar is mounted by Laureate Productions, a small Sydney, arts-company dedicated to the presentation of events based on poetry in a variety of innovative ways with an emphasis on contemporary Australian work. The bold and dynamic leadership of Angela Stretch in this new show is a vital step in Laureate Production's growing programs.
