DIFFICULTWOMEN

'By far, the best touring show to make it to the shire interior, having played to packed houses at the inaugural Women's Festival. If you missed this one before, don't make the repeat error. TRULY STIRRING!'
Byron Shire Echo

'DIFFICULT WOMEN' is one of the most brilliant and powerful shows you're likely to see this year!'
Northern River's Echo

'A performance that left the audience almost BREATHLESS!'
THE PALMERSTON NORTH NEWS

Magnificent among them all was FRIDA KAHLO! The sufferings of her life - her physical mutilations and spiritual torments - are confronted with such crazy, blazing humour, it is heartbreaking.'
THE EDINBURGH SCOTSMAN

ARIA award winner, KAVISHA MAZZELLA, singing in English and Italian, brings her traditional and original, contemporary music inspired by her rich multicultural heritage.
"Her voice flows like tears of joy and sorrow, there’s a saltiness and warmth of sensuality here that sings the great bitter sweet song of life." Colum Sands BBC Radio Ulster UK
LIN VAN HEK & DifficultWomen have performed internationally, and at every major folk festival in Australia.
' DifficultWomen is in turn funny, poignant, and angry. It dazzles with brilliant intensity created by the power of Van Hek's acting and the luminosity of the writing. " The Press Christchurch New Zealand

Lin Van Hek's Selected Short Stories

from the back cover:

"Lin Van Hek is a writer who trusts and follows her instincts. At the heart of her work is a desire to expose the fragility and chaos that skitters just beneath the surface of our seemingly ordered lives. Her tales can veer from the mundane to the sacred, and from the prosaic to the magical in one sentence. Once the genie is let loose, all hell can break out, and a bit of heaven too."
Arnold Zable (Jewels and Ashes)
