Storyology After Dark: A live magazine

Journalists tell their best true stories, live on stage.

A night of wit, wisdom and spilled ink as great journalism leaps from the page to the stage. Hear tales of jungles, nuns, drugs, Afghanistan, race relations, backyard shenanigans, investigations, musicians, children’s choirs, fainting on live TV and face tattoos … plus a brilliant audience and a great party.

Contributors include Dan Box, Jo Chandler, Trent Dalton, Michelle Duff (NZ), Nakkiah Lui, William McInnes, Sarah McVeigh, Tonya Mosley (US), Andrew Quilty, Tracey Spicer.

Created by Jacqui Park, with chief story editor David Leser and director Paige Rattray. 

With live music, memorable images and a few surprises. Your ticket includes a drink — join us at the bar after the show!
