Described as “moving”, “brave” and “wonderful”, My Other Closet, the Cabaret is Russ’s true, first-hand account of his journey to domestic violence survivor.

Russ, a father of three now in his 50s, takes us on a musical journey through the story of his life. It begins in Melbourne’s gay clubs in the 70s, follows Russ through a 17-year straight marriage, then sees him coming out of the closet and into his first same-sex relationship—a relationship marred by extreme physical violence and emotional abuse.
