'Thirst is a funny and tender comedy that explores why some people leave, some stay, and some return to regional towns.
'Thirst is set in the Glass Slipper Tavern, the community hub of Yellow Springs. Lola, a former popstar, and her entrepreneurial long-term partner and band member, Chico, never thought they’d settle down in the country, let alone inherit a pub from Lola’s estranged white fella uncle.
'They are the first blackfullas to run the only pub for miles amongst the canola and cattle farms. The tavern desperately needs repairs but it’s not easy operating on a shoestring budget. Can a karaoke night fundraiser, with the help of a savvy barmaid with secret talents, help them save the pub?
'Join us for a heartfelt and hilarious night that has a dash of audience participation!'
