Beyond Priscilla has become a play! Thanks to the adaptation efforts of award-winning playwright Gavin Roach and director Lauren Hopley, the book has become a play.
Following its coming out performance in January 2016 as part of Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival, the play will then look to head to its roots: regional, rural and remote Australia. Contact NICHE if you’d like Beyond Priscilla to head your way: daniel@niche.org.au

THE BOOK
Get your copy of Beyond Priscilla: one gay man, one gay truck, one big idea… now, published through Clouds of Magellan (cloudsofmagellanpress.net).
In 2010, Daniel Witthaus spent 266 days driving around rural, regional and urban Australia challenging homophobia. Beyond Priscilla is a record of the Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’ National Tour.
In a 38 week road trip around Australia, Daniel Witthaus discovered what contemporary life is really like for LGBT people – life beyond the stereotypes, life ‘beyond Priscilla’. Daniel’s simple aim was to challenge and confront homophobia ‘one cuppa at a time’. In so doing he met a wide range of individuals, all with harrowing or uplifting stories to tell of ‘pride and prejudice’.
Join Daniel as he encounters foul-mouthed police officers, transgender treasures, a billionaire’s butler, gay jackaroos and straight lumberjacks looking to change.
Daniel has also published another book titled Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’: Challenging homophobia in Australian schools (2010).
