Embers

The Senior Theatre Performance class presents their production of Embers by Campion Decent.

Overnight on 7 and 8 January 2003, a dry storm ignited over 80 fires in Victoria’s North East and Gippsland. From exhaustive interviews with residents of the region, Campion Decent has fashioned an extraordinary account of the fires; the heart-stopping tales of survival, the awe-inspiring courage and endurance of communities put to the test, the spine-chilling evocations of the wave of heats roars through pristine valleys - and the mountains of sandwiches volunteers anxiously prepared. Gripping, lyrical, comically overwrought when it seems tragic, and deeply moving when all appears lost, Embers is the story of a fire - and the people who conquered it.
