An Amazing Tale of Dreadful Things
An Amazing Tale of Dreadful Things
Sunday April 12 @ 5PM
An Amazing Tale of Dreadful Things is a two act musical set in an alternate Victorian era cityscape. A young orphaned woman, Harmony, arrives seeking her eccentric and celebrated uncle Solomon who runs an emporium of amazing things. Intelligent and curious, she is accepted by Solomon as his ward, but is quickly ensnared in a diabolical plot hatched by the greedy and ambitious Mistress Beatrix who desires to take over his estate. In a dystopic and Dickensian world Harmony is surrounded by desperate street urchins and corrupt officials as she navigates a way out of the peril she finds herself in.
This is a complete new and original work in development, presented as a moved reading with full playback of 19 original songs. Sweeping from pop to Broadway and different styles between, Amazing Tales will be an amazing theatrical journey.

A play by Nick Enright, adapted by Anthony Skuse, based on the novel by Dorothy Hewett
Sydney, 1957. The whistle blows at the Jumbuck Spinning Mills and fifteen women clock on for another day — spinning, sweating, and scraping by on breadline wages. But when the shift ends, the mill doors open onto something else entirely: the neon-lit streets, the journey home, and the rich, complicated lives each woman carries beyond the factory floor.
Bobbin Up weaves together the voices of a remarkable chorus of working women — mothers, dreamers, survivors — whose lives intersect on the mill floor and fan out into the city beyond. When a mass layoff threatens them all, their individual struggles become one collective fight.
Raw, vivid, and unmistakably Australian, Bobbin Up is a celebration of working-class women whose stories have too rarely been told.
Directed by Anthony Skuse, starring Antonia Cooper, Binh Doan, Cathy Tropiano, Linda Zhang, Matthew Dell, Mel Jensen, Pattara Bamroongpruk and Paula Williams
