It’s a fine line between pleasure and pain.
Chrissy Amphlett was a seismic force in a school uniform. She had the raw talent, stage-conquering energy and the rock’n’roll rasp. Her audacious blend of sexuality and vulnerability defined a generation. As the front woman for The Divinyls she exploded onto the male-dominated scene, taking the band from the sticky carpets of Australian pubs to the top of the charts.
Now, beloved performer and writer Sheridan Harbridge (Prima Facie) fronts the band in an electrifying new cabaret that channels Chrissy's fierce spirit through anecdotes and songs. Co-created with multi-award-winning director Sarah Goodes (Julia), Amplified takes us on a kaleidoscopic tour through the eyes of fans and people who knew her into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.
'a richly woven piece of entertainment that balances scholarship with swagger, honouring Amphlett’s legacy while refusing to tame her' — Stage Whispers
