About

This performance includes haze effects, some coarse language and mature themes.

From the producers of national tours of ‘The Sapphires’ and ‘The Sunshine Club’ comes a very special and entertaining night in the theatre. Performed by a stellar cast including Lorinda May Merrypor (Juliet in & Juliet), Shaka Cook (Hamilton) and Lisa Maza (Stingers) and backed by a live band.

Journey back to 1940’s post-war Perth, with this toe-tapping, funny and poignant Australian musical performed by a stellar cast of nine actors backed by a live band.

Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest, white and black manage to form their own club where they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times, and with a little luck… romance.

Forty years on, as the club faces demolition, our characters meet once again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their old stomping ground.

Dark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

Written and composed by David Milroy and directed by Brittanie Shipway.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body.
