After a sell-out season in 2007 at The Blue Room, Hope is the saddest is back as part of the BF08 Under The Radar festival. This is the story of Hope, a young woman who has made it her mission to bring the world happiness by sharing her love for Dolly Parton. Watch as Hope attempts to win over one man - the homosexual love of her life, Theo - while avoiding the scheming deception of Marion, who grew up in a suitcase. Theo is the most confused, Marion is the loneliest - But Hope is the saddest. "An exciting blend of stylized performance set in a universe of magical eccentricity", The West Australian. "There is so much to like about this production. Its witty and profound in its simple truth that all life is chaos. See it", The Sunday Times Magazine. Metro Arts Warehouse, Brisbane 1 August at 6.30pm. 2 & 3 August at 1.00pm and 6.30pm. Tickets: $15 / $10 concession 1300 762 545 www.oztix.com.au Writer/Director: Jeffrey Jay Fowler.
