The Stage Goes Dark
Manage episode 333378588 series 2663852
Melbourne became a ghost town during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pubs and venues closed their doors, leaving many of the city’s artists and creatives without a stage to perform on or an audience to perform for.
Yet over successive lockdowns, it was the creative industries that kept communities strong, as we all adapted to unprecedented circumstances.
In The Stage Goes Dark, four creatives share their struggles and victories during the pandemic and cry out for an overlooked community, calling for a lifeline.
Guests:
Eilish Gilligan
Brenton Harris
Neil Morris (DRMNGNOW)
