What's on this week
Things are heating up in Perth this week – and not just the weather. From rooftop movies and live music to art, food markets, Pride celebrations and a little Spice Girls nostalgia, there’s plenty happening around the City.
The Limitless Mind of Melanie Lemon
Now – 7 November | Blue Room Theatre
The Limitless Mind of Melanie Lemon is a genre-bending rollercoaster of clowning, mime and physical theatre, where an ordinary day keeps detonating into extraordinary daydreams.
