Tae Tae in the Land of Yaaas!

Tae Tae in the Land of Yaaas! is a sparkling new tragi-comedy from renowned shake & stir theatre co, launching its premiere season as part of Brisbane Festival 2023 at Cremorne Theatre from August 25 - September 17, 2023.

Inspired by the true story of Estee Lee and written by her sister, shake & stir's Nelle Lee, Tae Tae in the Land of Yaaas! is a confronting, honest, heart-warming retelling of Tae’s journey from heartbreaking loss to a life top full of adventure, success and love.

Paralysed at six years old in a car accident, Tae struggles to come to terms with her readjusted reality. Recovering after yet another spinal surgery, she questions what the future holds for her and her family. 

Resigned to let go of her futile fantasies, Tae’s world is suddenly flipped upside down by the loud and proud arrival of her fabulous Fairy Godmother.

Anchored by a big heart and the strong will of two fabulous protagonists, Tae Tae in the Land of Yaaas! will feature legendary Australian Drag Queen Maxi Shield (RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under) and introduces Maya Dove as Tae, supported by a cast of Queensland favourites.
