Brisbane – prepare for the HIT US MUSICAL COMEDY, SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody

by

Spank the musical

This March, Brisbane will host the national premiere season of SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody, the critically acclaimed production that brings all the naughty fun of the notorious best-selling book to life.  

Direct from the US, where three productions are currently touring simultaneously SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody will open on March 14th at the Twelfth Night Theatre in Brisbane and it is set to shake the city.  It is the parody of the book that took the world by storm, selling over 65 million copies worldwide as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.

SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody is a critically acclaimed production that brings all the naughty fun of the notorious best-selling book to life. Your inner goddess will be laughing out loud with this wicked parody of the illicit love affair between the two main characters as they come to life with sharp-witted comedy, musical numbers and steamy, fun performances from the hunky leading man, plus lots of surprises! It’s an erotic, hilarious adaptation.

Sydney-based Stephen Mahy plays the charming and menacing lead role. Mahy is a distinguished singer, actor and dancer with previous roles including Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys, a favourite in Channel 10’s series I Will Survive, appearances in Channel 7’s City Homicide, and numerous other successful roles on stage across Australia.

Caitlin Berry plays the young and naïve student seduced by the sophisticated and erotic protagonist played by Mahy. Berry has toured Australia with the new musical Doctor Zhivago, and most recently covered the lead role of Nellie Forbush in the smash hit South Pacific.

Leading Australian actress and comedian Rebecca De Unamuno joins them on stage. She has written and worked with some of the best entertainers and writers in the business including Hamish & Andy and Kath & Kim. She was a main cast member of Comedy Inc, acted in Thick as Thieves and has also worked with The Chaser’s War on Everything.

This theatre production has been touring across the United States to rave reviews. Be amongst the first in Australia to see what everyone is talking about. SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody makes for a great girls night out experience – perfect for those who love a bit of Sex in the City style naughtiness.

Knit a Glasses Holder for Your Bedside Table

knit glasses holder

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.

If you need a little holder for your glasses on your table, check out the pattern at Our Daily Craft.
