MON, 15 FEBRUARY 2010 ME & JEZEBEL...
Have you ever fantasized about having your favorite movie star -- someone you've idolized your whole life -- come for dinner? In Me & Jezabel, Amanda Muggleton retells the story ELIZABETH FULLER has been telling for years, ever since Bette Davis showed up at her cottage in Weston one spring day in 1985 and remained, uninvited, a month longer. Thirty-two days, to the day. Ms. Fuller's husband was counting. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of Ms Davis or seen any of her films, this is one of the best exposé into what goes on when a big star falls in on you and lives up to their reputation. I implore you to buy a ticket. You will not regret it.
23RD FEB (8PM) and 24th FEB (2PM & 8PM) - MECC, Alfred Street, Mackay
2ND to 6TH MARCH - Sydney Opera House (Circular Quay) - TICKETS!
