For Bollywood fans in Perth, the evening of Wednesday the 9th of October was all about three letters: S – R – K.

The King of Bollywood (that’s Shahrukh Khan for the uninitiated) and his trio of screen-queens – Jacqueline Fernandez, Rani Mukherjee and Madhuri Dixit, all held court for a three-hour-plus Bollywood extravaganza in our city.

Joined by Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and Indian Idol alumni Meiyang Chang who emceed, the three Bollywood icons and the debutante (Fernandez) lit up the stage, all accompanied by over a hundred dancers from India.

The show, choreographed by Geeta Kapor, was a big coup for Perth, having only been performed in Auckland and Sydney.

First Comes Love, Perth’s original alternative bridal fair celebrates its third year with a move to an historic new venue.

On Saturday 5th October 2013, the stunning St Georges College in Crawley plays host to this iconic event, featuring WA’s freshest and most creative artisans and independent businesses, showcasing their wares and services for a discerning clientele.

First Comes Love is the perfect remedy to cookie-cutter, mass-produced wedding expos. Moving away from stretch Hummers and teeth-whiteners, First Comes Love is for those looking to walk the ‘aisle’ less-travelled.

Just Improvise, the specialist theatre improvisation company based in Perth, will titillate you with an intimate evening of creepy cabaret, in the spirit of 'The Times' with its latest show Zeitgeist.

Imagine a chance encounter between playwright Bertold Brecht and legendary musician Tom Waits, workshopped and performed as part of the 2012 Impro Melbourne Classic, Zeitgeist follows on from the unscripted success of "In a New York Minute" and "The Locker Room".

Just Improvise is using this notion as inspiration for its latest show Zeitgeist, an intimate evening of creepy cabaret using real newspaper headlines as the catalyst for each performance.
