After selling out La Mama with last year’s Midsumma hit, Fag Boy & The Married Guy, acclaimed dramatist and actor Wayne Tunks is returning to La Mama with his most personal story to date, his own.
Detailing his life-long love affair with Madonna, Everything I Know I Learnt From Madonna examines Wayne’s theory that he can relate every important life moment to a Madonna lyric.
Real, raw and riotous; this comedic drama specifically looks at the loves of Wayne’s life. From his coming out tale, to the cheating boyfriend, to the one with the racist Mum and the one with a secret drug habit, this is Wayne’s story of growing up gay in the roughest area of Sydney’s West. An emotional story of life and loss interlaced with those Madonna lyrics we all know so well.
Written and performed by Wayne Tunks and directed by Fiona Hallenan-Barker, be prepared to get your Madonna on this Midsumma!
