Modern fairytale
A new fairytale by Australian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer will have a season at the Penrith Q Theatre during the school holidays as part of the Sydney Children's Festival.
Audiences will join three sisters as they cross oceans, topple lighthouses and conquer armies in This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing, a joint production from Barking Gecko Theatre Company, Q Theatre Company and Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.
This contemporary take on a classic fairytale follows three sisters abandoned in the forest by their father.
Facing an uncertain future, one decides to walk one way around the world, one decides to walk the other way and one decides to stay right where she is.
Audiences follow the three girls over 20 adventurous years until they meet again in the same place in the forest.
Details: Q Theatre, Joan Sutherland Centre, Friday, September 28, 10.30am, 1pm and 7pm; Saturday, September 29, 10.30am and 1pm.

Sisters on stage
On the same week as their new album Two Worlds Collide was released The McClymonts announced their Australian tour for 2012.
Two Worlds Collide is the result of months of songwriting sessions in Nashville during their six-month tour around the US last year.
The band wrote, or co-wrote, every song on the album and then worked with three master producers to bring it to life.
