WORDSPOKEN is a unique, live theatrical experience where story, music, slow circus, and poetry meet in an old Melbourne tram. An honouring of the eternal now, WORDSPOKEN is lo-fi, full-presence event showing that will usher you mischievously into the night. 

Presented as part of Castlemaine Fringe, WORDSPOKEN celebrates local artists with each of the four shows (March 27, 28 & April 4,5) bringing a new voice to the fore. 

~ABOUT THE ARTISTS~

MAGGIE CLARE – Shapeshifter par excellence, Maggie dances the borders between worlds, spooling out stories till they break and roll back to the beginning. Along the way, she might try on the guise of poet, carnie, clown, wisewoman… It all depends on which way the wind blows, and your luck.
PATCH PHEASANT – Spacious cello tunes and song straight from the heart – Patch has been making musical-ish sounds for as long as anyone can remember. He draws inspiration from folk traditions, enjoying time travelling through old tunes and bringing them to life.
Curious about what all this might mean? So is he…Suggestions welcome.
DERRY DOYLE – Derry Doyle is the fly on the wall that rummages for romance in the mundane and spins yarns with a fiercely Australian tongue. He swears like a saint, is sensitive as a sailor, and never lets the truth get in the way of a good story. 

This is an all ages event.
