Adelaide Festival Centre's Australian Stories program presents Company B's production of Page 8 written by David Page and Louis Nowra

Written by DAVID PAGE and LOUIS NOWRA

An inspiring coming-of-age story

This extraordinary self-portrait performance is a larger than life journey about finding your own path and being true to yourself.

As the eighth child of twelve living in a Mt Gravatt housing commission estate, David became Australia's answer to Michael Jackson when he was just 13 years old.

Little Davey Page was an all-singing, all-dancing sensation. Appearing on Countdown and The Paul Hogan Show his singles twice made it into the Aussie top ten until his voice broke. Then in his teenage years there were questions of sexuality and as an adult he went on to became an award-winning composer for stage, television and film.

Following a successful, critically acclaimed 2005 Adelaide Cabaret Festival season, Page 8 has been thrilling audiences around the world.

"...a beautifully crafted and wonderfully performed piece of autobiographical theatre... David Page is extraordinary."
