The Storey Players present:

Burke and Wills Grand Adventure

"The use of lyrical text, humorous exposition, visual set pieces, and poignant sound choice left me engrossed, joyful, dismayed and even a little tearful."

After four months on tour in Outback Australia, The Storey Players are back home in The Hills and proud to present the untold story of the Race-to-the-Gulf.

A bored teenager struggles with her history homework until she gets caught up in this incredible tale of hardship, bravery and near-misses.

Using a mix of storytelling and theatre, you will re-live every moment of this epic expedition from its ambitious beginning to its tragic end at Cooper Creek as the Ghost of John King tells his amazing story.

“An amazing performance of their own take on the Burke and Wills expedition”
“I was captured deeply with emotion and the performance of Simon Storey who created a very deep heartfelt story of John King who was the only survivor of the Burke and Will’s expedition.”
“The audience ranged in age from six to sixty plus, and everyone was mesmerised by the drama”
“We really appreciate opportunities like this as they are rare to our remote community, and cannot thank you enough for coming to visit, entertain and educate us”.
