I was told it's a play with music, so I thought I'd put it in here. It's being performed at the Butterfly Club in South Melbourne, and sounds well worth seeing. FIVE MINUTE CALL Presented by Fly-on-the-Wall Productions November: Sunday 14, Monday 15, Tuesday 16, Monday 22, Tuesday 23, Sunday 28, Monday 29, Tuesday 30 at 8:30 pm December: Monday 6, Tuesday 7 at 8.30 pm La Celestina – famous Australian opera diva, now retired – is running an exclusive club frequented mostly by theatricals, called The Butterfly Club after her favourite opera "Madama Butterfly". Her son and daughter-in-law, both singers, were tragically killed leaving her to raise their son, Enrico, named after the famous Enrico Caruso, whom she hopes will carry on the family tradition. Enrico, however, has other ideas. He dreams of being a pop singer and behind La Celestina's back, has auditioned for the "Pop Idol" television competition. A bittersweet clash of wills ensues with dramatic consequences. FIVE MINUTE CALL is a site-specific production which moves from room to room. Limited tickets, limited season, so book now! Written by Julia Britton, Directed by Robert Chuter, Produced by Russell Sims With MARIE-THERESE BYRNE, MATTHEW ROBINSON, CHRISTOPHER PENDER and PAUL O'BRIEN Ticket price: $25 www.thebutterflyclub.com/

I definitely will be. I do have a couple of good reasons for wanting to, one being the venue, which is utterly gorgeous
