Hell Ship: The journey of the Ticonderoga
By Michael Veitch
In 1852, the emigrant ship Ticonderoga limped into Port Melbourne after a nightmare voyage from England in which nearly 200 of her passengers had died of typhus. Her saga of tragedy, loss and heroism gripped the people of our young nation like nothing before. Michael Veitch will perform his one-man show from the perspective of the young ship’s surgeon who bravely nursed many of the sick passengers back to health. A dark story but told utilising Michael’s great ability to capture the human aspects and always find some small thing to attach a wry sense of humor to when required. The clincher – the surgeon was actually his great-great grandfather, James William Henry Veitch

BEEP!
Windmill Theatre Co
A slightly sideways tale about unexpected friendship, finding where you fit and learning to mix it up a little. In Mort’s Village everything has its place, every day is the same and everyone likes it that way. Until one morning, crash, boom, bang… down comes Beep. What is this annoying interruption to Mort’s breakfast molly melon, who is this noisy robot girl, and how will she find her home? With Windmill’s trademark design, gentle storytelling, music and puppetry, Beep tells the story of what happens when someone new comes to town.
