PRISCILLA QUEEN OF<br />

THE DESERT OPENING<br />

NIGHT<br />

A huge dollop of camped up insanity gushed all the<br />

way from the Australian Outback to stiletto strut across<br />

the stage at the Isaac Theatre Royal, to be met with an<br />

uproar of approval. The fi rst night of Priscilla Queen<br />

of the Desert was a sparkling success, seducing the<br />

audience to a state of helpless laughter. Appropriately<br />

attired fans whistled, hooted, waved and stomped<br />

as they sang along with the myriad disco and ‘70’s<br />

pop hits. Costumes as colourful as a bag of manic<br />

liquorice allsorts, minced and danced up a storm as<br />

overhead, the levitating Greek chorus combined to<br />

create a vision reminiscent of a comedic nightmare.<br />

The evening was truly fun and truly exhausting!<br />

SELWYN HOUSE<br />

PRE SCHOOL<br />

GARDEN OPENING<br />

Animated plants strolled about Selwyn House like a<br />

scene from a storybook, causing little eyes to widen<br />

with wonder and little hearts to fl utter with excitement.<br />

It was not a mad scientist who had caused the pretty<br />

fl owers to walk upright but Jenny Gillies who, having<br />

clad teachers and staff in her gorgeous creations,<br />

offi cially opened the preschool’s new garden. Hot<br />

and humid, the day was perfect for a garden party<br />

and following a song from the pupils, a blessing by<br />

James Robinson, Jenny, got up as a honey bee, sliced<br />

the blue ribbon. Afternoon tea among the blooms<br />

concluded the wonderful day.<br />
