The Living Room Theatre is a fiercely independent performing arts company founded in Sydney in 2000, creating 28 original works over 25 years without a permanent home, working through residencies, partnerships, and borrowed spaces to produce urgent, embodied, and unflinching art examining how violence and trauma persist in relation to the female body. Now, with a permanent home at 21 Shepherd, the company enters a new chapter, and The Rose Read Bookshop is excited to be partnering with the space.

Drinks and nibblies available for a small donation to the theatre.

Books will be available for sale and signing on the night.
