Dates announced for 10 day Noosa Longweekend Festival - June 15-24,2012
Noosa Longweekend Festival Director, Ian Mackellar is adding the
finishing touches to a program that will see over 65 free and
ticketed events staged from Friday 15 - Sunday 24 June, 2012 in
Noosa Heads, Queensland. Over 35% of the program will be free of
charge.
The annual Noosa Longweekend Festival is a 10 day (and night)
celebration of music, theatre, dance, literature, forums, film,
food, visual arts and workshops. It sees the iconic,
beachside village of Noosa transformed into ‘culture central’
each June.
Ian said that the 2012 program would see audiences treated to the
crème de la crème of Australian talent including names such as
John Bell, Bruce Beresford, Andrew Denton, Peter FitzSimons,
Jennifer Byrne, Anthony Garcia, William Barton, Expressions Dance
Company and more, as well as an unprecedented line-up of
international performers hailing from Quebec, New York and
London. He also hinted that audiences could be in for a few
surprises as part of the festival’s eleventh year.
“As we embark on our second decade of Noosa Longweekend
Festivals, in addition to presenting firm festival favourites
such as classical and contemporary music, literary events and
dance, we’ll be shaking things up a little with a number of acts
that may be considered risqué or at the very least, thought
provoking, Ian said.
“We’re looking forward to revealing our full program on Thursday
3 May, however intend to release some featured events ahead of
that date in order to allow patrons to secure their tickets
earlier and also whet their appetites with a taste of things to
come.”
As has been the case since the festival first began in 2001,
patron and dramatist, David Williamson will present his latest
play ‘When Dad Married Fury’. The black comedy will be presented
directly following its Sydney Ensemble Theatre Company season and
revolves around the significant birthday of family patriarch,
Alan and the surprise introduction of his new foreign wife – much
to the horror of his children and grandchildren.
