Inspector Drake & The Black Widow by BATS
BATS THEATRE COMPANY PROUDLY PRESENTS - INSPECTOR DRAKE AND THE BLACK WIDOW
Imagine if Fawlty Towers meets a murder mystery. That is, essentially, Inspector Drake and the Black Widow.
A classic English farce featuring a cross between ‘Inspector Clouseau’ and ‘And Then There Were None’ will have you laughing out loud and forgetting about the outside world. A dead body is found, whilst dusting at 3am, which sets up a play that is an amusing parody of the whodunnit genre, that’s packed with lots of visual gags, subtle adult innuendo, all topped with a touch of cross-dressing.
The plot, set in the 1920s, has Sergeant Plod send for the infamous Inspector Drake to help solve the murder of John Johnson who has been stabbed in the back whilst wearing his wife’s dress. The two are thwarted by a series of women who look suspiciously alike, with triplets born two months apart, a missing semi-tropical spider and a lustful widow. Just a few of the obstacles facing Inspector Drake.
Imagine Basil Fawlty playing Inspector Clouseau playing Inspector Drake? What can possibly go wrong?

Festuri Multicultural Fairy Festival
On Sunday 6 September 2026, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, Buderim Village Park will be transformed into a magical gathering place filled with fairies, music, dance, creativity, culture and family fun.
This year’s festival brings a magical new theme to FESTURI’s long-running celebration of cultural diversity. Fairies are not found in only one culture. Across the world, people have shared stories of magical beings connected to nature, forests, waterways and the unseen world—from fairies, little people and forest guardians to bush spirits, elves, pixies and other mystical beings found in folklore and cultural traditions.
The festival invites everyone to explore these stories through imagination, creativity and celebration while enjoying the multicultural music, dance and community spirit FESTURI is known for.
Plans are taking shape for a colourful day of live music, multicultural dance performances, children’s entertainment, creative workshops, storytelling and interactive activities.
Visitors can look forward to giant bubbles, fairy games, face painting, magical roaming entertainment, food stalls, market stalls and plenty of opportunities to create, play, explore and dance.
And now is the perfect time to start planning your costume!
Children, adults, families and friends are encouraged to create their own fairy, forest spirit, magical guardian, elf, little person, woodland creature or fantasy-inspired costume. Your creation might be inspired by nature, cultural folklore or simply your own imagination.
Costumes do not need to be expensive. Handmade wings, recycled materials, colourful fabrics,
flowers, leaves and treasures found in nature can all become part of something wonderful.
Make it a family project, invite your friends over for a costume-making afternoon and see what magical ideas you can create together.
One of the highlights of the day will be the All Ages Fairy Fashion Parade, with more than $200 in prizes to be won. Whether your costume is sparkling and colourful, inspired by nature, connected to cultural stories or completely original, we cannot wait to see what you come up with.
The FESTURI Annual Multicultural Music and Dance Festival is a free, family-friendly event welcoming everyone to celebrate creativity, cultural diversity, imagination and community connection.
Gather your family and friends, bring your dancing shoes and camera, and prepare for a magical day in the heart of Buderim.
FESTURI Annual Multicultural Music and Dance Festival: A Fairy Festival 📅 Sunday 6 September 2026 ⏰ 10:00am–4:00pm 📍 Buderim Village Park, 5 Church Street, Buderim 🎟️ Free entry
Start creating those costumes, dust off your fairy wings and prepare to step into a world of magic! 🧚✨

Unapologetically human. Deeply surreal.
July 10–12, 2026 | Buderim War Memorial Hall - 4 performances only
