One Night I Met an Australian

Ever seriously agree to marry someone the first night you met them? Of course not! Some have had faint memories of thoroughly inebriated circumstance, but to see it through? These were questions resonating through Daria’s 22-year old hazy memory in 1992 the day after agreeing to marry an Australian guitarist, who she had met less than 12 hours earlier at a New York City bar… and, today, has been married to for over thirteen years.

The one-woman comedic revue One Night I Met an Australian follows an African-American’s journey of falling for an Aussie and subsequently living in down under for the next ten years. Relive the confusion of Japanese and African tourists, who don’t know what to make of Daria — a rare find in Sydney — when she explains that she is neither a Koala Bear nor Swahili speaking visitor from Sudan.
