Megan Riordan from RIOT, the all star Irish smash hit at the Arts Centre until 9 Feb

David & Sue talk to Megan Riordan from RIOT, the all star Irish smash hit of the 2016 Dublin Fringe Festival and part of the Midsumma Festival program at the Arts Centre. The show which is described as “a disorderly cocktail of party and politics, and a love-letter of hope to the future, and a thrilling, uplifting and unforgettable night out” is currently running at the Arts Centre Melbourne until 9 February 2018. You can book via the Arts Centre Melbourne website or at the Midsumma site.

The Arts Centre Site describes the show as follows:

Dance, drag, circus and comedy rolled into a gut-punch of wild theatre, RIOT infuses the excitement of a variety show with the energy of the dance floor, setting your hearts and minds ablaze.

The all-star Irish cast includes Queen of Ireland Panti Bliss (last seen in her 2017 one-woman-show High Heels in Low Places). RIOT sold every ticket available in Dublin Fringe, won Best Production and broke box-office records there. Now, this jaw-dropping spectacle comes to Melbourne this summer as a klaxon call for those who are ready to riot.

This theatrical explosion will set hearts soaring and pulses racing over two weeks at Arts Centre Melbourne, with a surprise local performer each night.

It’s your big night out… with a twist!
