Letters from Australia’ is an immersive 360° production, based on letters home by two Cornish Boys from West Cornwall, who emigrated to Australia in the 1860's. The recently discovered letters, which provide the inspiration, overarching visual motif and compelling lyrics of the production, cry out with homesickness, loneliness and separation, and the everyday challenges and triumphs of their pioneering life. While the boys had their mining and farming skills to fall back on; they also brought their culture, particularly their deep chapel faith. The Cornish diaspora of the 19th century saw 250,000 people leave Cornwall, fleeing poverty and seeking opportunities across the globe. Approximately 10% of South Australians have Cornish ancestry, with areas including Moonta sometimes referred to as ‘Little Cornwall’.

Experience the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice, & his life. Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. Backed by a sensational seven piece live band (whose credits read like a who’s who of the International scene), this is a true ‘theatre concert’ experience. Only the Lonely….Running Scared……Sweet Dream Baby…… Blue bayou…... …In Dreams…….You Got It……..Crying……..Workin for the Man…….Penny Arcade…… ….Pretty Woman………many more…. Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, & career highs & lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80’s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, & the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius. Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music & his life.

Experience the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice, & his life. Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. Backed by a sensational seven piece live band (whose credits read like a who’s who of the International scene), this is a true ‘theatre concert’ experience. Only the Lonely….Running Scared……Sweet Dream Baby…… Blue bayou…... …In Dreams…….You Got It……..Crying……..Workin for the Man…….Penny Arcade…… ….Pretty Woman………many more…. Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, & career highs & lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80’s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, & the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius. Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music & his life.
