‘Sex, sass, queerness, community and celebration … that’s the vibe that I think best encapsulates my particular take on cabaret,’ says Virginia Gay, Artistic Director of the 2024 Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
Gay, an award-winning Australian writer, actor and television personality whose career has embraced everything from an acclaimed production of Calamity Jane and Melbourne Theatre Company’s Cyrano, to television drama All Saints and light entertainment program Dancing with the Stars, as well as cabaret both in Australia and overseas, fell in love with cabaret as an art form when she was 14.
