BECKETTS WINE BAR SYDNEY 20 OCtober

For our October Clubhouse event, Beckett’s is serving up two hot slices from the brilliant new Australian play, “I’m With Her” by Walkley Award Winner, Victoria Midwinter Pitt (writer and director). Curated by Beckett’s founder and playwright-director, Wendy Beckett (newly returned to Australia from Greece following the tour with her new play Sappho) “I’m With Her” goes beyond standard #metoo fare to give a thrilling real life demonstration of the power of women to outlast, outwit and outmuscle the patriarchy. 

For one-night only, icons of the Australian stage, Lynette Curran and Deborah Galanos will bring to life two very different women - nonagenarian botanist Marion Blackwell and world-renowned counter-terrorism expert and recently appointed Federal Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth Anne Aly MP.

Chef Jeff Schroeter’s superb menu for the evening will be designed to enhance the 20-minute theatrical experience, performed as an intermission to an incredible four-course dinner served in the spectacular sandstone wine cellar (specifically designed by Wendy Beckett’s set designer, Halcyon Pratt) with matched wines (non-alcoholic available) selected by Beckett’s talented Sommelier.
