RARA by Meg Denman | KLF Showcase 2026

A world-premiere season, including one special night for the Katie Lees Fellowship.

RARA is the debut work of Meg Denman, created as the 2026 recipient of the Katie Lees Fellowship. This is its premiere season — five nights at Flight Path Theatre, running Tuesday 10 through Saturday 14 November.

RARA is a love letter to chronic illness, big dreams, our bestie boos, dance & Spain in the summer. It's a reminder of our strength. Our ability to handle a lot more than we think we can. Set to the soundtrack of the pop princesses who run the world. Call it a glimmer of hope, with touch of heartbreak & a whole lot of choreo. Call it RARA.

Annual KLF Showcase 💜 Friday 13 November

One night each season, we host something extra special. The Fellowship invites you to join us for a viewing of RARA by Meg Denman, followed by a panel that brings together KLF community members and past and present Fellowship recipients. The panel will discuss the state of Australian theatre today, and how the Fellowship has helped platform bold, female-led new work.

Want something EXTRA? ⭐️ Purchase a Friends of KLF ticket and join us a little earlier on Friday 13 November only. From 6:30pm, you will enjoy a meet-and-greet before the show, with complimentary drinks and canapés. Our Friends of KLF will receive premier reserved seating for the show and panel.

About RaRa

Elle, Millie & Zara are one night away from performing on the iconic 'Diva-Nation' stage. A show they've dreamt about dancing in since they were girls. They've trained hard, put their faith in the dance gods & are ready to do Beyoncé proud. The only thing stopping Elle is her ankle. And her knees. And her wrists. She's riddled with arthritis, has been since age two.

When an unexpected (& completely unwelcome) flare-up threatens to tear her dreams to shreds she must face it, head on. With the help of the CIA (Chronic Illness Angels), Elle grapples with the idea that her body might be the only thing in standing in the way of her and her biggest dream.

RARA is a love letter to chronic illness, big dreams, our bestie boos, dance & Spain in the summer. It's a reminder of our strength. Our ability to handle a lot more than we think we can. Set to the soundtrack of the pop princesses who run the world. Call it a glimmer of hope, with touch of heartbreak & a whole lot of choreo. Call it RARA.
