Today is the opening day of Nathan Page’s new play – The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? He plays Martin, a 50-year-old award-winning architect who falls in love with a goat! I have never read the play by Edward Albee and am very intrigued.
Martin’s wife Stevie, played by Claudia Karvan, is the star of another Every Cloud Production TV series, Newton’s Law. It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t seen it (available on AcornTV). It has a lot of heart and laughs, and you will recognize many familiar faces from MFMM.
The play will be in Adelaide, Australia, Feb 10-25, 2023, and then travels to Sydney Mar 2-25. For those who are lucky enough to live in the areas or plan on making the trip to witness the glory, please share your thoughts and photos with the rest of us.

Wog Media Sunday Spotlight #4: The Heartbreak Kid (1993) - A Cinematic Exploration of Culture & Lust
A couple days late, but you'll live! (I hope)
Heres the fourth instalment of Wog Media Spotlights, every Sunday on wogism.blog
In 1993, Michael Jenkins brought us a timeless masterpiece, "The Heartbreak Kid."
This film is not just a love story; it's a deep dive into the complexities of culture and the irresistible allure of forbidden lust.
Set against the backdrop of Melbourne, Australia, the movie showcases the life and culture of Greek Australians. The vibrant Greek community in Melbourne comes to life, offering a rich and colorful view of the Greek-Australian experience.
The director, Michael Jenkins, takes us on a visual and emotional journey, portraying the dichotomy between ethnic students and their angloceltic teachers and classmates. This cultural contrast serves as a profound exploration of identity, tradition, and generational clashes, making it a cornerstone of the film's narrative.
One of the most compelling aspects of "The Heartbreak Kid" is its portrayal of the wog subculture. As we know, the term "wog" was once a derogatory slang term but has been embraced as a term of cultural pride.
The film encapsulates the essence of this subculture, highlighting the distinct traditions, values, and familial bonds that define it. It's a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and spirit of the Greek Australian community.
At the core of the story lies a passionate and adulterous love affair between Nick Polides (Alex Dimitriades) and Christina (Claudia Karvan). This relationship adds a layer of complexity to the film's narrative.
Some other characters include George Polides (Nick's Father) played by Nick Lathouris, and Dimitri, Christina's fiancee played by Steve Bastoni.
The movie handles their affair with a degree of sensuality and intrigue, portraying the forbidden nature of their love in a savory yet controversial manner. The audience is drawn into their magnetic connection, navigating the fine line between love and lust, right and wrong.
Beyond its cinematic success, "The Heartbreak Kid" has had a lasting impact.
It transformed into a TV series, extending the narrative for those eager to delve deeper into the lives of its characters. The TV series further explores the nuances of culture, love, and identity, making it a must-watch for fans of the film.
Moreover, a Netflix reboot brought this classic tale to a new generation, ensuring that its themes of culture, identity, and love continue to resonate with audiences around the world. The reboot reintroduces the story to modern viewers, giving them a chance to connect with the characters and themes in a contemporary context.
All in all, "The Heartbreak Kid" (1993) is more than just a film; it's an immersive experience that explores culture and the intoxicating allure of forbidden love. It reminds us that, regardless of our cultural backgrounds, the universal themes of desire, passion, and longing are part of the human experience, making it a timeless cinematic gem.
