Nella
Come take a seat at the table!
After a sold out run at 2021 Adelaide Fringe, Nella returns to share her family story of migration, new beginnings and her love of pasta.
Written and performed by Julia Mayer, Nella is a tale that is stirred with passion, simmered with soul and served with homegrown tomatoes. A funny, heartfelt and familiar tale to many who call Australia home.
