I've been writing an adaptation! (Frame Narrative and it's on March 8-30, 2024 at The Old Fitz in Sydney.) Working with source material has changed some parts of my writing process. So I thought it could be useful to share what's been helpful along the way.I speak about:- The many kinds of adaptations: retellings, reimaginings, cover songs, fan fiction, prequels, sequels etc. - Bridging the gap between the source material and the liveness of theatre (or whatever form you write in.)- The relationship between form and content.- Using research to broaden your access points to the material and find new ideas and inspiration. - Imagine filtering a story through your voice and aesthetic like it's a cover song. How does this particular story sound in your voice? - Marginalia and the long history of readers writing in the margins of books.- Working with the expectations audiences bring to a work when they know it's an adaptation. Can you deliver on the expectations that open up possibilities, and subvert the ones that don't.I reference:- G Flip's cover of Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift on triple j Like A Version - 'Like A Version and the art of making a cover song' by Madi Chwasta on ABCSee Monument at Red Stitch Actors' Theatre!By Emily Sheehan and directed by Ella CaldwellFebruary 20 - March 10, 2024Book now: https://www.redstitch.net/monument-2024See Frame Narrative at The Old Fitz Theatre!By Emily Sheehan and directed by Lucy ClementsMarch 8-30, 2024Book now: https://www.oldfitztheatre.com.au/frame-narrative

Just last year, rumors were swirling that the Old Fitz Decanter Series was being discontinued. Many wondered what was next for the long revered and beloved Old Fitzgerald bourbon brand. However, in the midst of the speculation, Heaven Hill surprised us all when they announced the "Spring 2023" decanter series release of Old Fitz. Coming in at 10 years old, this bottle marks the 11th national release in this series and should be arriving on shelves across the nation very soon. One member of our crew has a very strong liking for this series and wheated bourbons in general, but the results of this tasting might shock you. Join us this week as we discuss an unexpected distillery tour and try to solve the mystery of rumors and misinformation involving Heaven Hill product. Happy wheated weekend. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

The opportunity to view ‘live' theatrical performance from the comfort of home is an experience to which many of us have given indulgent thought. Competing with the ordeal of travel, parking and audience, especially in the time of Covid, is never an attractive proposition. However, we do so, because nothing can replace the visceral engagement of witnessing a company of performers and creatives conjure stories right there in front of us. Living in the big cities can make this ritual commonplace; but it is a practice that is not available to many keen theatre-goers. Patrons in regional centres, immunocompromised viewers and those looking for affordable and accessible tickets are likely to miss out on the work presented by our national theatre, dance, music and opera companies. Australian Theatre Live is a new experience of performance allowing us to see quality theatre on digital platforms while also preserving for eternity what is an ephemeral night in the theatre. Australian Theatre Live has just launched a subscription platform for digital theatre experiences, making Australian art more accessible to all. With a growing content library of mainstage and independent theatre, opera, dance, acrobatics and music, Australian Theatre Live captures live performance for you to enjoy on your schedule. Their fast-growing digital library is designed with everyone in mind. The Australian Theatre Live catalogue includes theatrical experiences from Sydney Theatre Company, Griffin Theatre Company, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Sydney Festival, Kings Cross Theatre, the Old Fitz and more. “People often have this perception that recorded theatre is not as enjoyable as the live thing. However, due to the beautiful camera angles and crisp sound quality, our films offer a level of intimacy beyond that of the usual audience member's experience. Watching an Australian Theatre Live film is like watching a play from on the stage” – Grant Dodwell, Creative Director Australian Theatre Live Home audiences are able gain access to some of the best of what Australian theatre has to offer, regardless of your location, income, or access needs. Australian Theatre Live grants all Australians the opportunity to enjoy, critique and participate in the development of our artistic heritage.

They may each get in the ring in pursuit of the title of Lady Boxing Champion of the World but what each stands to gain from every bout far exceeds any title. The women punch for recognition, they jab for education, they spar for a future, they fight for survival. The Sweet Science of Bruising plays at the Flight Path Theatre from 15th June to 2nd July and tickets can be booked at flightpaththeatre.org Dino Dimitriadis is an award-winning director and producer who is currently directing Sarah Kane's lesser performed play Cleansed.

Ate Lovia is a new Filipino-Australian theatre piece written by Jordan Shea presented by Red Line Productions. Set in the 90s, the story follows the resilience of family, and is an incisive examination of our country's deep-rooted racism, amid a conservative government and its anti-immigrant sentiment. In a piece guest-produced by Eric Jiang, we hear from improviser and playwright Happy Feraren about her work as the translator and community consultant for the play, and how it serves as an act of remembrance to preserve such stories. She also spoke to Eric about her improv practice grounding her in the present and how she has used comedy as a tool for political critique.  Ate Lovia is playing at The Old Fitz until June 4th, you can get more details and tickets here.  This episode was produced by Eric Jiang with special guest Happy Feraran. Cover image: the cast of Ate Lovia by Clare Hawley.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we run back Old Fitzgerald, but this time with Old Fitz 17. We compare it to the OG and the 13. No bourbon news this week, we just dive right in.  

Who stole the bourbon from the rickhouse? Was it Michael, Anthony, or Steven? The answer is “none of the above.” It was Old Fitz! This week, we sip and discuss Heaven Hill's Larceny Barrel Proof offering and ponder whether it stacks up against its own historical lineage and other wheated bourbons. Come on a journey with us as we discuss how to handle your alcohol intake at weddings, the golden rules of drinking, and the deletion of a legendary local bourbon group. The trip down memory lane has the fellas wondering how they ever drank anything besides bourbon. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

To be honest, I don't think I've been to a venue as busy as Opera Bar. The scale is insane. We're talking more then 900 cover services, which for an a le carte venue, is a monster body of work. Fortunately I had the opportunity to jump in during a service to do some behind the scenes shots of the head chef Fernando and his team of powerhouse chefs. You can see these photos over at rootshospitality.com.au Fernando and I sat down back in December to chat about his long standing career as a chef, working as a head chef at various hotels, catering companies and bars. We chat about the little things that make us love the industry like the comradery during a busy service, but also the lessons learnt from the failures we experience. Fernando shares some advice from his friend that says 'In life, just admit you are going to suck at whatever you do. But that's okay! That's how we get better.'  Just have the willpower to keep on going and eventually you'll succeed.  We sat down and bantered about how QR codes have stitched both him and Anna (Head Chef at the Old Fitz) up after the first lockdown, the importance of docket rail space, what the hell an Allergen Matrix is, and of course, we find out what Fernando's most in the shit moment is. So be sure to tune in. The Roots Hospitality podcast is proudly supported by Sydney Direct Fresh Produce.

Anna and I sat down on the same morning the Good Food Guide of 2022 came out. Which was a perfect way to start the conversation. It's an exciting time of year for a lot of chefs, so it was a good way to debrief about the year and some of the exciting projects coming up. Anna talks about how she got her foot in the hospitality door and all of the hilarious stories that have come with it. If you tune in at the right time, you'll hear her share how Hugh Allen (Vue De Monde) once borrowed and lost her Palette Knife while working together at Noma. She proceeds to finish the story saying she chased him around the kitchen until he found it, and he did.We talk about how restaurants have had to pivot over the past year, with degustation and menu changes, the correlation between quantity of chefs and quality of food, and most important of all, how us passionate chefs have had to change our lifestyles to keep our motivation in the kitchen above the water, so to speak.We've all had to take a deep breath and rethink our perception of hospitality and what we're capable of doing in such a tough industry.

On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show, the alt-blues band Houndmouth joins Fred for some whiskey sipping and lively conversation. Formed in New Albany, Indiana, in 2011, the band consists of Matt Myers, Zak Appleby and Shane Cody. On the show, they talk about touring, 10 years of being headquartered in downtown New Albany, they sip everything from Michter's 10 to 291 Colorado Whiskey and they perform two songs -- one of which is slated to be on their forthcoming new album. Whiskeys tasted: Michter's 10 Year (14:24) 291 Colorado Whiskey (23:40) Penelope Four Grain Bourbon (44:12) Peerless Rye (47:00) Old Fitzgerald 14 Year Bottled in Bond (55:46) EPISODE SUMMARY Fred and the members of Houndmouth talk about a wide variety of things, such as: Fred gives the band a moment to decide whether to perform before drinking the whiskey or after. It is noted that performing pre-whiskey would be a foreign experience; predictably, they choose post-whiskey. There's a quick discussion of thrift stores and haunted dolls. The band is headquartered in an old house in downtown New Albany which sits next to a fire station, making it sometimes difficult to record. They tell the story of how the band name came about, and it is directly related to the fact sound bleeds into the old house. Fred takes the band through his method of tasting bourbon. Fred says mindfulness - paying close attention to what you're eating or drinking - can work even for something as mundane as a McDonald's cheeseburger. Talk then turns to chicken sandwiches and later hot chicken. Because it's so freaking good. Fred then somehow waxes eloquent about Tanzanian cashews. The band agrees they've never tasted anything quite like the 291 Colorado Whiskey. Aspen staves will do that. (They loved it.) Fred talks about some of the many flavors he's encountered in whiskey: Drywall, plastic and even dead cat. The origins of Houndmouth, which first began to take shape in 2011, are explored. Interestingly, each of the original members primarily played guitar, so they were forced to diversify. The band performs a song at around the 37:00 mark. Fred gets to the Penelope Four Grain and the group already had consumed it. Oops. The Peerless Rye comes out. There is a discussion about the benefits of having a great mother-in-law. Before covid, Houndmouth toured so relentlessly that in one year they played 280 shows. They already drank the Old Fitz as well. As for the overall favorite? Penelope Four Grain was the winner ... which is why they essentially finished it before the show was recorded. Look for a new album from Houndmouth this spring. The band performs a song from the forthcoming album at around the 55:00 mark.

On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show, Whitechapel bass player Gabe Crisp joins the show. Named for the Whitechapel district of London, where Jack the Ripper famously went on his killing spree, the Knoxville, Tennessee, metal band has released seven studio albums to much acclaim. Fred talks with Crisp about the role of a bass player, his career, his love of bourbon, the covid era, heavy metal fandom and plenty more. Whiskeys tasted: Distillery 291 Colorado Whiskey (12:44) Henry & Sons Cask Strength (18:26) Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 9 Year (26:50) Knob Creek 15 Year Old (40:07) EPISODE SUMMARY Fred and Gabe talk about a wide variety of things, such as: Gabe says it was the pandemic lockdown that made him a bourbon fan. The band would sometimes get Blanton's on the road, but it was a trip to Kentucky for a bachelor party, a trip that involved several distillery tours, that initially got him hooked. While the pandemic shut down Whitechapel's 2020 tour, it gave the band the bandwidth to write and record its new album. Per usual, Fred gives Gabe a tutorial on his method for tasting whiskey, starting with Distillery 291 Colorado Whiskey. Fred, a wannabe bass player himself, asks Gabe if he thinks Whitechapel would ever go full-on Spinal Tap/"Big Bottom" wherein the bass takes over entirely. Gabe essentially says "maybe." Crisp was inspired to play bass by listening to Green Day, a bass-forward band featuring Mike Dirnt on bass that got big in the 1990s. There's a brief discussion about why Gabe doesn't sing in the band. In short, singing in a deathcore band isn't as easy as many might think. Fred professes his love for Old Fitzgerald bourbons: "If this was football, [Old Fitz bourbons] would be Pro-Bowlers." Fred also notes that the interview was recorded on the anniversary of the Bottled in Bond Act, which was passed in 1897. They celebrated with an Old Fitzgerald bottled in bond whiskey. Fred and Gabe talks about parallels between bourbon and music when it comes to hype driving popularity. Crisp says he feels metal fans, in general, are more devoted than other fans and are "there for the long haul." Crisp says he doesn't listen to much music, but rather listens to the same music he did in high school: 1990s pop punk and 1960s rock like the Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Gabe narrows his favorite of the flight down to the Old Fitzgerald and Knob Creek, ultimately going with Knob Creek, with a nod to J. Henry for its finish. Expect the new album from Whitechapel before the end of 2021. QUOTABLES On why he sticks to playing bass guitar and doesn't sing for Whitechapel: "One time, back in the very beginning of the band, we were just messing around and I tried to do some sort of actual scream. It was something you could still laugh about today. It's a lot harder than people think it is. To scream and yell and make it sound forceful, and actually articulate and make it sound like something, and do that for an hour ... It's a skill for sure."
