WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2025 – FESTIVAL DAY 4
Lucky Bastard is a f*cking cabaret in celebration of a life well lived… well, lived at least. A new work by playwright Breton Lalama, directed by Daniel MacIvor with music by John Alcorn.
The evening concludes with a combination of comedy, drama, and opera with The Queen in Me, exploring how the rigid conventions of race, gender, and sexuality in opera prevent one of the greatest art forms from reaching its kaleidoscopic potential.
