And now the end is near and we've faced the final curtain. And what a glittering final show it was.
Last night we saw off the more fringe section of the Brisbane Festival at Kelvin Grove's Theatre Republic and tonight it was bye, bye to the main game at QPAC. Trevor Ashley's Diamonds are for Trevor was a sparkling send off. I mean Shirley Bassey, glitter, gowns, sequins and sparkles all held together by the ultimate showman Trevor Ashley. We knew what Ashley was capable of and he delivered it wrapped in a 20-metre feather boa. And just before launching into the last of his five - yes five - encores, the wig and make-up came off. The real Trevor Ashley stood up and gave an impassioned speech about the impact of the marriage equality debate on people in his community. Let's hope that he had opened the eyes, hearts and mouths of any undecided in the audience and then managed to shove his message in when they weren't looking.
