AS somebody who suffers from Keratoconus and had a Corneal Transplant back in 2016 information is power. Keratoconus Australia have just updated their Transplant Guide. Keratoconus is not a common condition and as such is often overlooked by Governments.

This was written by my cousin XR Fivefivethree in memory of all those brave souls who put on the uniform and fought. Lest We Forget. Lets remember them every day not just on ANZAC Day RIP John Cornelius Hunt.

During the hay days of radio, before television, radio was the main stay of entertainment at home. Traditionally, radio plays were performed in front of a live audience with an orchestra and a foley/soundman providing sound effects and guiding the audience reactions. 

MMuDS, for the first time, presents Radio Plays “LIVE” at the Mansfield Performing Art Centre, featuring works by local writers and performed by both well-known and emerging local actors. 

Three short Radio Plays, accompanied by The MAD Orchestra, will run over five shows. Each play offers different performers and stories ranging from humour to drama and mystery.

Performers and audience members are encouraged to dress up in evening wear. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed, and the “Fashion Police” will be on the lookout in the foyer before the performances. So, dress to impress!
