Theatre North presents

Scandals, squabbles and artistic ambition

Further adventures with Tasmania's theatrical ghosts of the 1830s and 40s.

Join us at Cinq A Sept, Thursday 02 May, when Dr Jane Woollard returns to the Earl to present a talk on;Scandals, squabbles and artistic ambition: Further adventures with Tasmania's theatrical ghosts of the 1830s and 40s.

Performers in the 1830s and 40s travelled extensively on Australian touring routes to ply their trade, earn an income, and build their reputation and star status. It was a highly competitive industry, and performers often fell out, resorting to the Magistrate's Courts or the press to resolve their disagreements.Tasmania's early theatre practitioners also had artistic triumphs, and pushed boundaries. They attempted new work, and reimagined old work, in the never-ending search for novel programming, to attract audiences, and earn their keep.

Doors open from 5:00 pm, with the panel discussion commencing at 5:40 pm or thereabouts.

This is a free event. Please RSVP your interest in attending.
The bar will also be in operation.
