Dictionary by a Bitch: The Journals of Bee Miles 2020

Content from UpNext.com.au. Please don't scrape website.

Written and performed by Vashti Hughes. Directed by Liesel Badorrek. Sound Design by Ross Johnston.

The title of one of Bee Miles' unpublished journals; her articulate, humorous and subversive voice spoke out against social injustice. Bee was transgressive and a bohemian rebel who constantly challenged the accepted orthodoxy. Bee is an inspiration screaming 'No!' against an oppressive world still resonating strongly today.
