UP CLOSE & PERSONAL, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
In 1992, John Waters and Stewart D'Arrietta took to the small stage at the Tilbury Hotel, Woolloomooloo, Sydney with their debut production of "Looking Through A Glass Onion".
What was an initially a one week booking quickly sold out and extended into a six week, sell out season. Thus the original seed of "Looking For A Glass Onion" was born.
Fast forward 20 years and after many successful and sold out Glass Onion tours, John and Stewart have decided to return to their 'up close and personal' intimate 2 man show tour commencing in January 2012.
"It began its life as a small venue piece with just Stewart D'Arrietta and myself on stage at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney. I made my entrance from a kichen and climbed over patron's laps to scramble onto a tiny raised platform in the corner of the room. The audience and I were inescapably intimate with each other from the very start, and I kinda like that. Not every venue we play this time around can be exactly like that, but it's the feeling I want to create - to take the show back to its roots" says John Waters. "This is a last chance opportunity for regional Australia to see this show as we'll be taking it to Broadway in New York in 2013 and are in discussion with Yoko Ono on aspects of the New York shows".
