A FORTUNATE LIFE

WRITTEN BY A. B. FACEY ADD TO FAVOURITES
Drama

Resilience, fortitude, love…an ordinary man’s extraordinary life in 20th Century Western Australia.

A striking collaboration between artists of stage and screen honours the trials and triumphs of extraordinary everyman A.B Facey, whose award-winning Australian classic autobiography, A Fortunate Life, has been adapted for theatrical presentation. The immersive audiovisual projections and live actors evoke the pioneering spirit of the bush, and the challenges and triumphs of country life through two world wars and their aftermath.

All ages are invited to experience this groundbreaking theatrical production – connect with generations past and present through this incredible true story – gain insight from Facey’s experiences as a bushman, sportsman, railway ganger, a World War 1 soldier and a 20th Century family man. This is a unique opportunity to become immersed in modern history and experience the combined impact of live theatre and cinema.
