Hi everyone-
Here is a Physical Challenge for you:
I was wondering if anybody out there knows of any plays that are set on or around the Swan River. Even just a scene out of play set near the Swan River would be helpful. I have had no luck in my search so far and would really appreciate any help with this.


Thanks

Greg

And played, amongst other venues, St Georges Hall, Hay Street Perth before all but the facade was demolished.

I believe Jill Perryman all played the role for Effie Crump Theatre. I understand people who saw them both play the part were blissfully undecided who did the better job.
