UTOPIA - A 60 Minute Musical Pub Theatre Show @ The Basement Theatre

UTOPIA -  the Amazing Australian Paraguayan Story  Directed by Denny Lawrence (The Bill/A Country Practice) In the 1890s, with an economic depression and widespread unemployment, a group of Australians set out for Paraguay, in South America, to establish a Socialist society. Their leader was the charismatic writer and orator Billy Lane, and colonists included Dave Stevenson, the cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson, and Mary Cameron, who later became Dame Mary Gilmore – commemorated today on the ten-dollar note.

This 60 minute performance is not to be missed!
