Originally from the Central West, Petronella is the best-selling author of Six Minutes, The Good Teacher, The Liars and The Last Trace. Her books have been nominated in the Ned Kelly Awards, the Davitt Awards and the Australian Independent Bookseller Awards.

Bookings: 6333 6281Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the night.

About the bookEvery Time She Wakes is a taut, time-bending thriller about family, identity and defying fate.

When careers counsellor Suze and her family are evacuated from their home during a bushfire emergency, she suddenly realises they’re being kidnapped. The van crashes and Suze thinks it’s the end.

But she wakes up two weeks back in time. No one else remembers the terror that came before. Is it all in her own mind?

Then it happens again. And again.

With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Suze must discover why it’s happening and who is behind the kidnappings. She’s running out of time to save her family and wake up in a world she recognises.

A twisty page-turner about how far we’ll go to protect what matters most.

LOVE. We all want it. We all need it. We all like to sing about it.
The Strangeways Cabaret takes audiences on an antics-fuelled ride that packs a surprising emotional punch. Songs about online dating, loneliness and broken promises, along with duelling eyebrows, glamorous drag queens, and stories of killer spiders and lovelorn vampires all combine to create a joyful celebration of life and love in all its forms.
The cabaret is created by The Strangeways Ensemble, a company of neuro-diverse actors and musicians from Wollongong, who explore universal themes from their unique perspectives to find the fantastical in the mundane. They like to make work, which is evocative and challenging, but also poetic and funny, and to make people think and laugh.
By taking the cabaret on tour, The Strangeways Ensemble are spreading the love and are excited to be including neuro-diverse and queer artists from Bathurst in the lineup. With a live cabaret band and special guest artists, The Strangeways Cabaret promises unique takes on one of the most explored human emotions – love.

21 Hearts
2026-07-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, 105 William Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
21 Hearts – Vivian Bullwinkel and the Nurses of the Vyner Brooke

A compelling true story from WWII, honouring the bravery strength, love and hope of Australian Army Nurses in the face of adversity.

Vivian Bullwinkel was one of 65 Australian nurses who boarded the Vyner Brooke in an attempt to flee the Japanese invasion of Singapore in February, 1942. Bombed by Japanese fighter planes and after spending days at sea, she and some other survivors found their way to Radji Beach on Banka Island where they surrendered.

In one of the most atrocious acts of war crimes in our history, 22 nurses were forced to march into the sea where they were callously machine gunned. The only survivor and witness, Vivian spent the rest of the war in a prison camp before liberation, and her remaining years fighting for recognition of the bravery of her friends and colleagues; their strength and courage in the face of death sustaining her for the rest of her illustrious life.

21 Hearts relays the resilient Aussie humour displayed by the women in the camp and provides a respectful and authentic voice to those who were silenced, remembering them for who they were and not just for what happened to them.

A story of hope, courage, resilience and heart.

Featuring six of Western Australia’s most outstanding actors, 21 HEARTS is a celebration of the human spirit and an uplifting, inspiring story which reminds us of the great futility of war.

Written by Jenny Davis
Directed by Stuart Halusz
Featuring Caitlin Beresford-Ord, Rebecca Davis, Michelle Fornasier, Alex Jones, Tegan Mulvany and Helen Searle.
