Australia Felix
About
Australian theatre and history re-imagined. A remarkable, entertaining story of a runaway convict, life with tribes, magistrates, a tale of a fabulous inland, and a landowner. Told by a travelling theatre company of the time, on the eve of the execution of the convict. Conflicting values and visions in early Australia, that resonate with current debates. "Beautifully written, absorbing, insightful and intriguing play. Impossible to ignore.” Sydney Arts GuideCast Rick Butler, Kathryn Stewart (Melissa Glinn), Tisha Kelemen, Freya Moore, Mark Anderson.
