THE EARTH AND THE SUPERNATURAL

Event Date: 25/08/2014, 07:00 pm

Classical music inspired by both our earth & the world of the supernatural
Performers:
The Reservoir Trio

Programme:
L. van Beethoven – Piano Trio no. 5 in D major “Ghost”, op.70 no.1
E. Kats-Chernin – The Spirit and the Maiden
C. Saint-Saens – Danse Macabre

The Reservoir Trio return with a programme which explores music inspired by both our earth and the world of the supernatural.

Beethoven's D major trio has acquired the nickname "Ghost" based on its "strangely scored and undeniably eerie-sounding slow movement". Its outer movements are, however, completely typical of Beethoven's 'middle period', and consist of music which is earthly and absolutely human.

Sydney-based composer Elena Kats-Chernin chose the piano trio configuration for her piece which tells the legend of "The Spirit and the Maiden", and the Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens depicts the gruesome scene in which, at midnight, the skeletons of the dead rise from their graves and dance to Death's demonic tune.

Event Date: 22/08/2014, 08:15 pm

A sparkling new comedy inspired by real events
Hollywood, 1962. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are at war – their careers are on the skids, they are aging rapidly, and they are locked in a titanic struggle for top-billing on their latest movie. When America’s most feared columnist, Hedda Hopper, invites them to supper, they call an uneasy truce. However the evening turns chaotic when an unexpected guest arrives – a very young and very drunk Marilyn Monroe. Will old age and treachery defeat youth and courage? Or is there more to Marilyn than anyone could have guessed?

From the writer of such hits as THE SHOE-HORN SONATA and HARP ON THE WILLOW comes a sparkling new comedy inspired by real events, as biting and crisp as a dry martini.

The Laugh Stand With Jackie Loeb

Event Date: 21/08/2014, 08:00 pm

A rocking night of laughs: Musical comedy stars Jackie Loeb & Dave Eastgate
This month at FBi Social, we’re going all rock n’ roll, with two of the country’s finest multi-talented musical comedians - the wonderfully glam Jackie Loeb and rock God Dave Eastgate!

Your Headliner, Jackie Loeb, is a jack of all trades - comedian, musician, corporate Emcee, voice-over artist, actor, writer and TV star. Over the years, you would have seen Jackie all over your TV, as regular cast member of Australian comedy classic ‘Full Frontal’ and in appearances on ‘Good News Week’, ‘Spicks and Specks’, ‘The Footy Show’, ’20 to 1’, ‘Stand Up Australia’, ‘The Today Show’ and ‘Last Comic Standing’, just to name a handful. The Sydney Morning Herald declared Jackie as “One of the top five comics” and Drum Media said: “Loeb revealed the strange richness of the human experience. Oh, and made us laugh the whole way through.”

Your Emcee is the insanely energetic and hilarious, Dave Eastgate. Dave also has “many strings to his guitar”, including; comedian, musician, Emcee, actor, and the hardest working TV warm up guy in town. Dave also spends a fair share of his time in front of the camera with credits on a range of hit TV shows, including ‘The Moodys’, ‘Wednesday Night Fever’, ‘An Elegant Gentleman’s Guide To Knife-Fighting’ and ‘Thursday Night Live’. He even has his own band, ‘Boner Contention’, rocking venues and TV shows all over the country. Metro UK says Dave “…unleashes musical thunder with a laughter-packed set of songs…” and Academy Award winning comedy legend Robin Williams proclaims; “F**king beautiful, man!”

Jackie and Dave will be joined by the brightest rising stars: Cameron James, Suren Jayemanne, Andrew Wolfe, Alexei Tollopolous, Delores Lorette and Emma Zammit!
