    February 10, 2015 News release > City Centre in spotlight for Anywhere Festival A THEATRICAL performance at Hair Asylum and a comedy walking tour by a man in a penguin suit are just some of the weird and wonderful events taking place in the Mackay City Centre, as part of the Anywhere Festival (March 13-22). Proudly hosted by the Mackay and Isaac Regional Councils, Mayor Deirdre Comerford and Isaac Regional Council Acting Mayor Dale Appleton were on hand to officially launch the festival today at Oaks Rivermarquee. Mayor Deirdre Comerford said she was proud that Mackay and Isaac were the first regional areas in Australia to host The Anywhere Festival. “Our arts and business communities have joined forces with the organisers to stage a festival program that is unique, affordable and a lot of fun,” Cr Comerford said. “It’s a great opportunity for our City Centre businesses to showcase their versatility and for locals and visitors alike to enjoy some exciting performances.” Mackay’s City Centre and Isaac townships including Middlemount, Moranbah, Nebo and Dysart will host a variety of exciting musical and comical performances as part of the ten day festival. Festival, Events and the Arts portfolio councillor Chris Bonanno said it was great to see fourteen different local businesses in and around the City Centre host performances. “Venues include the Mackay Grand Suites and The Dispensary – the festival will be a great opportunity for audiences to enjoy entertainment in different settings throughout our City Centre.” Anywhere Festival Artistic Director Paul OSurch said, “It’s time to explore your nooks and crannies.” “The Anywhere Festival is about fun shows in interesting spaces at affordable prices so that anyone can go to a few shows and explore spaces in a different way, that’s really the key and why I love this festival,” Paul said.

  • The Miniaturist
    Enter the dollhouse of mystery The Miniaturist Anya Taylor-Joy, Romola Garai and Alex Hassell star in an adaptation of Jessie Burton’s gripping bestseller on MASTERPIECE Sundays, September 9 - 23, 2018 on PBS Golden Age Amsterdam comes alive in all its opulence and repressed sensuality in an adaptation of Jessie Burton’s bestselling novel The Miniaturist, starring Anya Taylor- Joy (Split, The Witch), Romola Garai (Churchill’s Secret, The Hour) and Alex Hassell (Genius: Picasso, Suburbicon). Gorgeously filmed on location in The Netherlands and the U.K., the three-part drama airs Sundays, September 9 - 23 at 9pm ET on MASTERPIECE on PBS. Taylor-Joy plays a young bride who receives mysterious packages from a reclusive maker of miniatures—tiny objects that appear to predict the future. The Miniaturist also features Paapa Essiedu (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Utopia), Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake; Call the Midwife) and Emily Berrington (Humans, The Inbetweeners 2). Critics were captivated when the miniseries recently aired in the U.K. The Telegraph (London) applauded it as “an evocative, spellbinding drama big on atmosphere,” and in another review compared the production to “a Daphne Du Maurier potboiler as painted by Vermeer.” The Guardian (London) praised The Miniaturist as “mesmerizing.” Set in 1686, when the Dutch Republic was one of the world’s richest and religiously zealous nations, The Miniaturist captures the paradox of extreme wealth combined with puritanical abhorrence of the pleasure that riches make possible. Petronella Oortman (Taylor-Joy), called Nella, is the unwitting victim of this clash of values. A naïve eighteen-year-old from a bankrupt aristocratic family in the provinces, she is wooed by Johannes Brandt (Hassell), a handsome and prosperous merchant looking for a wife.
