A Third Place

ABOUT THE EVENT

Two wogs, a drag queen. Madone!

Maria is gay, Nonna is dead, these two things do not correlate. Rumours are flying through the family when Maria inherits the beloved local Italian social hub, Il Caffe Cafe. Now left to run a failing business, all while trying to navigate a culture in contrast with her values, Maria needs help. Divine intervention comes in the shape of her cousin, Bella, and the eccentrically mysterious drag queen, Monica Bocconcini. 

A bittersweet reflection on grief, cultural identity and queerness; A Third Place pulls apart the cross sections of culture, family and values, as the trio unravel the mysteries of the past to restore Il Caffe Cafe back to its former glory, and find an unlikely community along the way. 

So shaddapa ya face and take a seat!
