Today, we meet half of Sydney-based feminist cabaret quartet Lady Sings It Better. The troupe perform pop songs with a hilarious and poignant feminist subtext, taking to the stage at comedy festivals, fringe festivals and queer community events around Australia and the world.
Amy Middleton chats with artistic director, Maeve Marsden, a writer, producer and performer with a long and impressive history in the arts and social justice. She founded Lady Sings it Better in 2009, influenced by her passion for cabaret and women, and found three talented performers to round out her quartet.
One of those performers is Libby Wood, who also joins us in the studio. Libby completed a Bachelor of Music at the Australian Institute of Music, and was a finalist in the Sydney Cabaret Showcase in 2009.
LANGUAGE WARNING: First 1.5 mins of show
