Wednesday 4th August from 7.30pm - Wesley Performing Arts Centre, Horsham

 

In 1876 six Fenian prisoners were liberated from Fremantle Prison in Western Australia. The True story of the whaling Chip Catalpa, and her astonishing captain George Anthony, has been described as one of the most extraordinary prison escapes of all time. A mission that spanned the globe and culminated in the rescue of sex Irish political prisoners from Fremantle Prison in 1876.

 

A little known chapter of Australian convict history, this richly lyrical show builds into an astonishingly gripping tapestry, a ripping yarn brought to life by word and sound alone.
