Formed in 2012, The Corinthian Food Store is a collective dedicated to creating new work about the experience of living in Australia today. We are fascinated by the fluidity of Australian identity, and we are dedicated to telling stories that reflect the diversity of our country in all its forms. TCFS productions are a unique audience experience, tapping into Australia’s rich history of clowning, community storytelling and original music. We tell sophisticated and heartfelt stories with an eye for specificity, connection and the sublime.  

“We’re all desperate to somehow find each other. Public Access is about connection, community and the shifting of the last public spaces to the online world. Libraries, like the theatre, wear many masks: a meeting place, a repository of cultural knowledge, a clean bathroom, a chance to snoop, an intellectual hothouse or somewhere to sit for an hour away from the burning sun. We’re opening up our local library and showing it off in all its glory. This work is a love letter to the safe haven they’ve always offered us, even when we forgot about them for a while. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
