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 captures Chrissy's fierce spirit through her words and songs. Co-created with multi-award-winning director Sarah Goodes (Julia), Amplified takes us backstage to the ‘80s rock scene, through the global acclaim and star-studded stage shows and into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.
'Some theatre people constantly surprise you, popping up in the most unexpected places, and whose names alone can spur you to buy a ticket. Sheridan Harbridge is one such artist.' - ABC
