This week, we're sharing stories performed at our live storytelling night (Un)Intended Consequences last October with live music composed and performed by Matthew Forbes.

Explore influential encounters, moments and ideas - and if you're eager for more, you can find three more stories in our 'Part I' Episode.

Highly Strung - 'Neverland'
Emily Suine and Oliver Durbidge are part of the lively puppeteering group Highly
Strung. Together, they tell a comical fantasy about the emotional waves of puberty.
Along this whimsical journey, the dashing boy from Neverland becomes our guide
through this tumultuous period of life.

Ruth Melville - 'Americana'
Ruth Melville is a nurse by trade and a literary artist by heart. She has published
numerous stories enriched with interpersonal details and it is here that she shares
one of these stories. A tale combining the enchanted wonder of Disney movies and
the unfiltered facets of reality. All in one big queer American road trip.

Jumaana Abdu - 'Children Go Straight to Heaven When They Die'
Jumaana Abdu is an award-winning writer exploring the friction between Islamic and
Australian culture. Through the reading of one of her short stories, Jumaana details
the bloody ordeal of adult prejudice and its impact on two childhood friends.
