presented by Jally Entertainment



Margaret Fulton reigned supreme on our country’s cooking scene, awarded an OAM in 1983 and later identified as a National Living Treasure. The Margaret Fulton Cookbook encouraged Australian housewives to experiment with more interesting ingredients, straying from the old tradition of meat and three veg.

This delightful musical romp follows her journey from humble beginnings to super-stardom.

"This musical brims with love and energy and is almost like chicken soup for the soul.....a fun night out and a love letter to Australian ingenuity.....every bit as tasty and kitsch as Fulton and her delectable, sweet treats."
AU Review.

"Margaret Fulton “livened up the nation and taught them how to cook with a little inspiration and the Margaret Fulton book”. Words of the enjoyable lively musical, Margaret Fulton Queen of the Dessert, ring true to generations of Australian and English housewives."
Sydney Arts Guide Review.


“It is not just a fun show, but a sociological reflection of gender issues and roles in Australia.”
Sydney Arts Guide



“This musical is a winner like the woman it immortalises.”
Stage Whispers



“A very entertaining heart-warming night of theatre.”
Alt Media



“genuinely funny, heart-warming theatre.”
The Age



“MacLeod's lyrics are witty and Worontschak’s musical styles range from blues to pop and jazz to latin beats.”
The Herald Sun



“A joyous celebration of the life of a great Australian, and the country that grew up with her, Margaret Fulton is eighty minutes of delectable enjoyment, as lightly whipped and deliciously sweet as any of the pavlovas on display.”
Simon Parris



“Light sweet and tasty as befits a cooking Queen.”

“There’s a song about a pressure cooker here that has the potential to be a chart-topping hit. Seriously.”
The Australian





“An entertaining, often amusing experience, featuring charming insights into our heroine’s story. Music by Yuri Worontschak is beautifully melodious, for a slew of catchy tunes that keep our feet tapping along.”
Susy Go See

Before Margaret Fulton burst into the nation’s kitchens in 1969 with her burnt orange crockpots and chunky stoneware serving dishes, encouraging housewives to try their hand at Nasi Goreng and Apricot Chicken, Australian food was bland, boring and British, or overly fussy, fancy and French!
The Margaret Fulton Cookbook, with hundreds of recipes, step-by step instructions, hints, tips and full-colour pictures, was a huge success, and taught a generation of women how to make delicious, economical dishes for family and friends. The era of the dinner party was born! Armed with a fondue set, a pressure cooker and their new confidence, women transformed themselves from family cooks to elegant hostesses, serving Chicken Liver Pâté, Sweet and Sour Pork and Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding.
Margaret’s book sold over 1.5 million copies.


In 1983 Margaret was awarded an Order of Australia in recognition of her services to cookery, and in 2006 she was named by the National Trust as an Australian Living National Treasure. In 2009 Margaret was named as one of the 25 Australians who have most changed the nation. Sadly, Margaret Fulton passed away on July 24th, 2019, she was 94 years old!

A live-action prequel feature film following a young Cruella de Vil.

trailer https://youtu.be/jpZrVxvG3mk

Academy Award® winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) stars in Disney’s “Cruella,” an all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. 

“Cruella,”  set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs.


Stars: Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Joel Fry

She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson (“Howards End,” “Sense & Sensibility”). 

But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella. Disney’s “Cruella” is directed by Craig Gillespie (“I Tonya”) from a screenplay by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, story by Aline Brosh McKenna and Kelly Marcel & Steve Zissis. 

Produced by Andrew Gunn (“Freaky Friday”), Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins Returns”) and Kristin Burr (“Christopher Robin”), with Emma Stone, Michelle Wright, Jared LeBoff and Glenn Close serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar®- winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” “A Room with a View”) creates the dazzling and imaginative costumes, which take on a life of their own.


note: CRUELLA contains several sequences with flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.

ESSENCE OF WATER

Sian Rowe +
Jayne Sturmfels

an exhibition of handmade pottery
on display and for sale

at 
The World Theatre Gallery
1 to 27 June 2021

closing celebration & meet the artists
Friday 25 June 2021 7PM

 

 We all know water is precious. Without it there would be no life on earth. Given the current climate and global challenge of sourcing and saving this most valuable resource we decided to explore the images that are invariably evoked when we think about water. From fantasies  of Mermaids to the creatures that rely on it, and even the results from the lack of it.


 ESSENCE OF WATER 

Jayne...

 

"As a child growing up in Far North Queensland in the 70's, I was 4 before I saw rain. It was certainly an event as everyone I knew ran from their houses and hugged each other and cried and sang and danced in the street. Unfortunately, it didn't stop raining causing one of the worst flood events in Queensland's history.

The epic power of water whether it be not enough or too much is quite remarkable. As a potter our craft is a reflection of nature, requiring just the right amount of water for success. Too dry the clay cracks; too wet and it returns to the slurry which created it."

 

 Sian... 

"My memory of growing up in West Wales is very different to Jaynes early experiences in Queensland. Wales being a very wet country we would have a celebration on the infrequent occasions when the sun came out and the rain stopped for a short break.

Charters Towers is a wonderful place to live. Just sometimes when there has been no rain in months and the temperature is pushing 40, I dream of the ocean. The sun is shining and there is a cool breeze blowing in on the waves. This dream is reflected in my pottery, sea birds, fish and beach huts."

More about artist Sian Rowe...

I grew up in Wales. I have lived in Charters Towers for about 35 years and have been a member of the Charters Towers Pottery Club for 28 years.

I make hand made sculptures using Feeney's BRT and White Raku clay. I use a combination of slabs and flattened coils of clay to make my pieces. I decorate with coloured slips, underglazes, oxides and glazes. The pieces are fired twice in an electric kiln.

I enjoy making a variety of subjects: the old churches of Charters Towers, the fruit bats of Lissner Park and brightly coloured fish from my imagination.
