I’ve learnt that the hard way."<br />Bella and Maya have been best friends ever since they were in primary school, braving life, love and their Catholic school together. Their friendship is tested as Bella begins to come to terms with her sexuality and begins to slowly unravel. Time passes and the two reconnect and fall apart, trying equally to grow into their own identities and hold onto the past as tightly as it slips away.</p> <p>Sapphically Challenged is a play that has been in the works for the past year, but has undergone thorough development with actors and writers over the course of 3 months. This staged reading presents the final product of this process, debuting the script to a public audience for the first time.</p> <p>Content Warnings:<br />* Course language<br />* Sexual references<br />* Homophobic and sexist language<br />* Themes of religious trauma<br />CREATIVES:<br />Creator: Adele Beaumont<br />Executive Creative: Zoe Le Marinel<br />Writers: Adele Beaumont<br />Victoria Georges<br />Ella McGrath<br />CAST:<br />Bella: Ava Camillos<br />Maya: Adelaide Tustain<br />Ensemble: Katherine Stonor<br />Maddie Lewis<br />Emily Whiting<br />PRODUCTION:<br />Lighting Design: Katarina Butler<br />Nikki Eghlimi<br />Adelaide Tustain<br />Sound Design: Jeremy Jenkins<br />Stage Management: Emma Johns<br />Production Assistance: David Thane<br />Elodie Roumanoff<br />Photography: Mariika Mehigan<br />Special Thanks: Eloise Aiken<br />Madhullikaa Singh</p> <p>ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY<br />SUDS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this event is taking place.
