On the eve of the equally beloved and dreaded holiday, Valentine’s Day, Maude King (Iris Elgar’s drag alter ego) is inviting some dear friends over to attend a love soirée. Free to attend, guests are welcome to come and go as they please throughout the evening. Take a seat and craft your own love letter, sip some complimentary drinks, and gaze at the display of love letters curated by Maude King. Pushing the conventions of what a love letter can be is most certainly encouraged. Maude King will be engaging with guests throughout the evening – look to them for useful/useless advice – and an array of materials will be available to use. Silly and sincere, ‘Maude King’s Love Soirée’ is a one-night-only event to commemorate Valentine’s Day in a low-stakes, communal manner.
Due to limited seating, guests are encouraged to offer their seats to others who are yet to craft a marvellous love letter, once they’ve finished their own, of course.
