Blue/Orange review for Perth Walkabout

I didn’t actually know a whole lot about Joe Penhall’s award-winning play Blue/Orange until this week but I reckon I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. It’s set in a London psychiatric hospital and explores race, prejudice and mental illness.

WALK review for Perth Walkabout

Have you ever experienced something and thought, “I don’t really know what’s going on but it’s pretty cool”?

That was me watching experimental performer Bobby Russell in WALK. 🙂

Read my review of WALK at the Blue Room Theatre on the Perth Walkabout website.

Beautiful bookish things

A couple of months ago, I was looking for some custom bookplates and stumbled across these personalised author bookplates for signing from Fleur & Fable. I got some for myself because I’m a sucker for beautiful bookish things, and was very pleased with the communication and service. The bookplates also arrived quickly, which is no mean feat in COVID times. 😉

Fast forward to the present, and I’m now an ambassador for this awesome Australian brand! So if you’re looking for gorgeous gifts for a book lover (who may or may not be yourself), check out Fleur & Fable’s website.

I do get a small commission if you end up buying something via the links above. But hey, I’m just a simple girl trying to make her way in the universe. (Yes, that’s another Star Wars reference on this blog and I may or may not have yelled, “Now this is podracing!” during Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett but I’m sure I’m not the only one.)

You can also nab a discount for yourself if you use the coupon code: LEEANN

The code won’t work for bundles and sale items but should shave a little off the price of everything else. And they ship worldwide! Even I don’t do that for my signed paperbacks at this point in time. 😛

Anyway, I promise I’m not going to turn into some annoying wannabe influencer. Just sharing something I find cool. 🙂

Something in the wake of your smile

I don’t really know what “the wake of your smile” means, but it sounds cool and I don’t care. So this is me singing Roxette’s “Listen to Your Heart” in front of people at the most recent VocalTech student showcase.

“Listen to Your Heart”

I have fond memories of seeing Roxette in Perth so it was an honour to tackle one of their biggest hits… even though watching and listening to myself is hella embarrassing. And it definitely wasn’t perfect but hopefully Marie Fredriksson is not turning in her grave. ❤

Animal Farm review for Perth Walkabout

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

My thoughts on Van Badham’s contemporary adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm — presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company — are now online.
