Produced and Toured by Performing Lines WA. The original production of The Magic Hour was produced and presented

by Deckchair Theatre in Fremantle WA, 17 May – 3 June 2012.

Unfortunately, Deckchair Theatre closed its doors in October 2012 after a 30-year history of producing new Australian theatre. The Magic Hour was Deckchair Theatre’s swansong performance.

Welcome Note Wesley Enoch, Artistic Director Dear Patron, Supporter and Friends, When Bille Brown passed away almost 18 months ago we made sure he was never forgotten at Queensland Theatre Company.

The theatre has his name attached to it, there are photos of Bille in the many shows he did at QTC hanging on the entrance walls and in the foyer hangs a magnificent portrait by artist Ben Quilty.

One thing Bille was also well known for was his support of emerging talent and new work.

As a writer and actor Bille Brown was a great advocate for developing great talent and as we move back to our home here at The GreenHouse you can experience some of the best new works and best new theatrical talents.

You saw Ursula Yovich play Mother Courage last year and we have her back doing her indefatigable best in her one woman show The Magic Hour. I have watched Ursula’s career for almost two decades.

She shines with an intensity and a chameleon-like ability to transform right in front of your eyes. She is arguably one of the best actresses of her generation.

This season at QTC represents a return and touring of a hit show. So often shows slink off into the memories of the few who get to see them. This year we had a chance to bring The Magic Hour back to life and show it to you again. The artists and the show have had a chance to grow and mature. A fantastic opportunity.

The show is a welcome addition to our work at the Bille Brown Studio at The GreenHouse. I’m sure Bille will be watching with eager eyes to see what happens next.

Love,

Wesley

Director's Note Chris Bendall Working on the world premiere of this new play by Vanessa Bates back in 2012 was one of those truly special experiences.

When Vanessa proposed to me the idea of an evening of fairy tales for adults, I was immediately intrigued. Partly it was the synchronicity of having a young child who was obsessed with my reading fairy tales to her each night. But also I knew that I was not alone in finding something absolutely enthralling about these classic tales that have been the stuff of dreams and nightmares for countless generations of kids across the globe.

We’ve all heard the stories featured in The Magic Hour before, all but one of them from the Brothers Grimm, but I have never heard them transposed so vividly to a contemporary Australian setting. When I first read the script, the tales leapt off the page to me, in equal parts funny, dangerous and provocative. Importantly, they held within them all the tantalising theatrical promise of taking an audience to unexpected and magical new places, and allowing us to indulge in the fantastical.

This play is not just fantasy though. There are real and vivid stories embedded in these magical tales, and they are rich in social commentary reflecting the gritty reality of the women’s lives that inspired these characters.

The Magic Hour also celebrates that essential craft of storytelling. These stories are from a time where fairy tales were passed from parent to child, spoken rather than written, and reinvented each night with a little extra colour and detail added with each and every repetition. They are part of that great tradition of sharing stories, in that magic hour where dreams are created and the imagination is allowed to soar to unexpected places. These stories stem from dark places but they are also about hope. They are about possibility. They are about the intense and wondrous relationships between parents and their children. And they are also about dreams.

Thank you to Vanessa for the opportunity to direct such a rich and exciting new work, thanks to my inspired design team of Alicia Clements and Joe Lui who were so integral in the development of this production.

Thanks to the production team of Jason Thelwell and Jenny Poh and to all the Deckchair staff who were a key part of its world premiere production in Fremantle. Last but by no means least, thank you to the sensational Ursula Yovich, a wonderful and generous collaborator and an extraordinarily skilful performer whose mighty musical and acting talents are nightly stretched to the limits as she brings to life, and to the stage, seven original, complex and utterly compelling women.

I hope you enjoy entering our enchanted world of magic!

Ursula Yovich

Writer's Note Vanessa Bates When I was a child, the ‘magic hour’ was always story time.

Be that a few chapters of Enid Blyton or Lewis Carroll read by mum or dad, or sitting, entranced, by my grandparents’ record player, listening to Treasure Island and singing brokenly along “Fifteen Men on a dead man’s chest! Yo Ho and a bottle of rum.” I did think at the time it was no wonder the poor man was dead with fifteen pirates sitting on him.

Stories, books, fairy tales, fables and folk tales – these were the foundations of my imagination and indeed my childhood. Many of these are in the bedrock of this play: The Magic Hour. But there are other stories woven through the more familiar ones.

a company who worked (then and now) to re-engage people with communities through various art forms. The Magic Hour is written for the women I met during this time. It is not their specific stories but a melding of them all. The Magic Hour is my way of celebrating the silent women – the mothers and stepmothers, the grandmothers, the sisters and daughters and their imaginary missing or suppressed counterparts in those fairy tales from so long ago.

As I got older I began to see that there were some stories which were rarely told – stories of the poor and disenfranchised, the mentally ill – stories of the people who had slipped down the cracks of society and amongst them, the stories of the women. I worked for a few years with Big hArt,

Synopsis Thought you knew Grimm’s fairy tales? Think again.

Little Red Riding Hood meets Trainspotting in this wicked retelling of classic bedtime stories.

Helpmann Award winner Ursula Yovich (Australia, Jindabyne, The Secret River) plays a cast of sideline female characters who’ve been updated and dropped into the gutters and alleyways of bleak Australian life.

From one of Australia’s most original contemporary playwrights, Vanessa Bates, The Magic Hour is a gutsy onewoman comedy told with dark humour and soulful song.

A night of stories told at twilight with werewolves and a touch of magic …

The Untold Story of World Queensland Theatre Company and Brisbane Festival, in association with QPAC and The Balnaves Foundation present

A Queensland Theatre Company and Sydney Festival production

One hundred years ago, in 1914, a bullet from an assassin’s gun in Sarajevo sparked a war that ignited the globe.

Patriotic young men all over the world lined up to join the fight – including hundreds of Indigenous Australians.

Shunned and downtrodden in their own country – and in fact banned by their own government from serving in the military – Aboriginal men

24 Sep – 12 Oct QPAC, Brisbane

War I Indigenous Diggers heroes’ welcome – just a shrug, and a return to drudgery and oppression.

Black Diggers is the story of these men – a story of honour and sacrifice that has been covered up and almost forgotten.

Directed by Wesley Enoch and written by Tom Wright, Black Diggers is the culmination of painstaking research into the lives and deaths of the thousand or so Indigenous

soldiers who fought for the British Commonwealth in World War I. Grand in scale and scope, it draws from in-depth interviews with the families of black diggers who heard the call to arms from all over Australia, as well as conversations with veterans, historians and academics.

For the Queensland Theatre Company, it has been a privilege to bring the important stories of these men onto the stage in the year of the ANZAC Centenary.

had to hide their heritage to enlist. Undaunted, these bold souls took up arms to defend the free world in its time of greatest need. For them, facing the horror of war on a Gallipoli beach was an escape from the shackles of racism at home, at a time when Aboriginal people stood by, segregated, unable to vote, unable to act as their children were ripped from them.

When the survivors came back from the war, there was no
