Travel through time and space to the vibrant community and boom-and-bust rhythms of Tasmania's west coast, in this mesmerising theatre show. Jacqui brings together spoken word, visuals and music for a truly transporting experience. In 1924, near Queenstown on the west coast of Lutruwita/Tasmania, a young man holds a double-barrelled gun with a black cockatoo perched on the barrel. A young woman with short curly hair stands beside him in the button grass, a dead black cockatoo dangling from each hand. Who is this woman, and what is she doing? Come and find out!
Like Captains Flat, Queenstown was a copper-mining town in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Captains Flat Hotel dining room is an intimate and uniquely atmospheric venue for this show.
The performance is FREE, so you can save your money to buy a meal at the hotel before or after the show (and for the fuel to get there if you aren't a local!). On Saturdays the hotel serves lunch from 12-3pm (last orders at 2pm), and again for dinner from 5.30-8.30pm.
