The journey of Ticonderoga
PERFORMED BY MICHAEL VEITCH
A sea voyage. A tragedy. A love story.
PRODUCER Chester Creative WRITER Michael Veitch DIRECTOR Peter Houghton LIGHTING DESIGN Tom Willis MUSICIAN Thomas Veitch
R
enowned writer, historian and performer, Michael Veitch, brings his one-man show Hell Ship to Tamworth audiences. It tells the true story of one of the most dramatic, yet now forgotten chapters of Australia’s early maritime history.
Hell Ship is the tale of hardship and heroism, survival and love following the three-month voyage of the emigrant clipper Ticonderoga from Liverpool to Port Phillip Bay in 1852. By the time the ship reached Australia, with mainly Highland Scots emigrants on board, the Ticonderoga was a floating catastrophe. Shortly after crossing the equator, typhus erupted throughout her decks, and within weeks almost 100 voyagers had perished and were buried at sea, with schools of sharks stalking the Ticonderoga across the ocean. Thoroughly researched by Michael, this is mainly the story of two people: Annie Morrison, a young Scots nurse and Ticonderoga’s official surgeon, James William Henry Veitch, and their tireless efforts in saving lives. These two historical figures went on to marry, becoming Michael Veitch’s great-great grandparents. With a stunning soundtrack arranged and performed live by Michael’s son, Thomas Veitch, the show’s emotions and history run deep with a moving and profound story that will touch audiences everywhere.

DIRECTOR Gero Cutmore

A comedy with heart ruvy Jones runs a successful beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are ‘anybody’ in the neighbourhood have a standing Saturday appointment.
Along with her anxious and eager new assistant, Annelle, Truvy styles the hair of many of the women about town: wealthy widow and former first lady of Chinquapin, Miss Clairee, local curmudgeon Miss Ouiser (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a very bad mood for forty years”), intelligent and compassionate career woman M’Lynn, and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town. Shelby’s engagement is the talk of the town, but the joy and excitement of her wedding quickly turn to concern as she faces a risky pregnancy and a myriad of health complications. Eventually, when Shelby dies from complications related to her diabetes, M’Lynn has to deal with the most difficult of life’s challenges: the loss of one’s child. As the women of Chinquapin make their ways over life’s many hurdles together, they find comfort (and a fair amount of verbal ribbing) in one another.

ppleton is a small country town being forced into the present with a recent influx of wealthy city slickers, treechangers and refugees. Simmering tensions come to a head when new GP, Penny Anderson, discovers that the famous Appleton Potato Race awards $1000 prize money for the men and a measly $200 for the women. When Penny decides to take steps to restore gender parity and coax Appleton into the 21st century, little could she have anticipated the spiralling, hilarious culture war that would follow. Inspired by real life events, The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race is a funny, honest and heart- warming story about upsetting the potato cart and standing up for your principles. The much loved Ensemble Theatre returns with another stellar comedy that was highly acclaimed and had a sell-out season when first presented. Recommended age 14 yrs + | Strong Language

visceral and thrilling exploration of the juxtaposition of beauty and devastation, Sydney Dance Company’s full-length work, Impermanence is Rafael Bonachela’s newest creation. Contemporary composer, Bryce Dessner has created a new score full of emotional power. Best known as a founder of American rock band The National and for his film scores for The Revenant and The Two Popes, Dessner was initially inspired by the tragedy of the Australian bush fires and the Notre-Dame fire in Paris. Performed live on stage by the Australian String Quartet, and the full power of Sydney Dance Company’s ensemble, this is an epic, driven performance that packs an emotional punch. When COVID-19 struck in March 2020, Impermanence was only four days from its world premiere and opening night. After a tumultuous year, Sydney Dance Company bring it to the stage for the first time in 2021, now with added poignancy. Join Sydney Dance Company in their return to the stage and from devastation, find energy, urgency, radiance and hope.

argaret Fulton reigned supreme on our country’s cooking scene and was awarded an OAM in 1983 and later identified as a National Living Treasure.
Before Margaret Fulton burst into the nation’s kitchens in 1969 with her burnt orange crockpots and chunky stoneware serving dishes, encouraging housewives to try their hand at Nasi Goreng and Apricot Chicken, Australian food was bland, boring and British, or overly fussy, fancy and French! The Margaret Fulton Cookbook encouraged Australian housewives to experiment with more interesting ingredients, straying from the old tradition of meat and three veg. This delightful musical romp follows her journey from humble beginnings to super-stardom.

…loving in an ordinary way may be quite an extraordinary gift after all.” - THE WEST AUSTRALIAN
Presented by
A delightfully amusing and poignant play about the nature of marriage, the pursuit of happiness and the perfect foxtrot! PRODUCER Christine Harris & HIT Productions DIRECTOR Denny Lawrence
W
allflowering, by award winning Australian playwright Peta Murray, is a delightfully amusing and poignant play about the nature of marriage, the pursuit of happiness and the perfect foxtrot! The play revolves around the lives of Peg and Cliff Small, an ordinary, suburban, middle aged couple who were once prize-winning ballroom dancers. The action is interspersed with ballroom dancing by a younger couple, who represent not only Peg and Cliff in their glory days, but also the older couple’s romantic, idealised view of themselves. While Cliff now has dreams of becoming a writer, but can get no further than writing lists of clever book titles, Peg on the other hand is no longer content to quietly and unquestioningly follow her husband. She wants to lead and sees the possibilities and excitement in change. These changes cause them to be out of step with each other and threaten their marriage.
See page 53 for details
There is great comedy and pathos in the exploration of Cliff and Peggy’s ‘ordinary’ lives. In the swish of a taffeta skirt and slide of patent shoes across the floor, the audience are transported to a glorious and romantic vision of our champions as perfectly synchronised, beautiful and extraordinary people.

A Musical Thriller
weeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony’s, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat is sure to both thrill and delight audiences. An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun! Don’t miss Tamworth Musical Society’s ‘Made in Tamworth’ production of this unforgettable musical masterpiece that has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world. Come ‘meat’ the cast!

‘baa baa!’ said Pete
dapted by Monkey Baa, Pete the Sheep is a lively and mischievous award-winning musical for young audiences and their adults.
Shaun isn’t like the other Shearers in Shaggy Gully… he’d rather be styling than shearing and instead of ‘sheep-dog’, he has a ‘sheep-sheep’ named Pete. After being rejected by the shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing Salon in town and before long word is out and they are inundated with woolly clients and maybe a Ringer or two! This hilarious show, imaginatively told by four performers playing shearers, dogs and sheep, explores the challenges and rewards of being an individual and will be a lasting tribute to honouring your own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock. Recommended ages: 4 to 9 years and their adults

n 1997, a BAFTA award-winning British film about six out-ofwork Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm. Now they’re back, live on stage, and for
them it really has to be The Full Monty. Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar-winning writer of the film, has now gone back to Sheffield where it all started, to rediscover the men, the women, the heartache, and the hilarity of the story. Produced by TDS and featuring some of Tamworth’s hottest talent, The Full Monty is sure to charm audiences.

“OUR HOME, OUR STORIES” imply uttering the words “Rural Australia” instantly evokes sounds, smells and colours that are indelibly etched into our collective minds. The bond we have for
our home is often conflicted between the safety and comfort we feel in such beauty and the heartbreak and terror that can be realised when her full force is unleashed upon us. TCDA’s dancers and choreographers draw inspiration from the quintessence of Australian rural life, exploring the way that our Community consolidates to offset our physical isolation, interpreting our landscape through movement and celebrating our stories. Dancers from TCDA’s Tamworth and Quirindi studios will showcase their talents in classical ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, tap, acro and musical theatre, bringing the stories of our home to life.
