Sixteen Words for Water
Directed by Jeff Watkins
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (October 30, 1885 – November 1, 1972) was an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in the first half of the 20th century. He is generally considered the poet most responsible for defining and promoting a modernist aesthetic in poetry.

He disapproved of American involvement in [WWII] and tried to use his scant political contacts in Washington D.C. to prevent it. When Pound spoke on Italian radio, he gave a series of talks on political and cultural matters, art and patronage and economic theories. Pound believed that economics was the core issue for the cause of World War II.

Morning Melodies
Maestro - A Celebration of Musical Eccentrics

International Pianist David Scheel

Maestro is a tour-de-force of character acting and piano playing, in which David brings to life twenty five of the greatest ‘eccentrics’ in musical history - Bach, Beethoven, Sir Thomas Beecham, Oscar Levant and others are mischievously resurrected. 
Be invited for drinks with the mad Erik Satie, hear a complete Beethoven sonata played in jazz, find out why Percy Grainger took a bath with his clothes on, discover how Toscanini lost an orchestra in the middle of the desert, meet the world's worst opera singer and the world's worst violinist, hear the three tenors sing Moon River and much more!
This concert will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and marvel at the beauty of the piano when played by a master.
A slick combination of quicksilver comedy with splendid piano playing...distinguished, complex, intelligent and very funny.  Time Out, London

10.30am - 11.30am
followed by morning tea
Tix $24
Bookings: BOCS 9484 1133

Darlington Theatre Players present

Darling Buds of May

The Darling Buds of May is a British comedy drama
which was first broadcast between 1991 and 1993 by Yorkshire Television.

The lovable, irrepressible Larkin family live in Kent 'somewhere at the end of the rainbow'. Pop, who makes a fortune from a variety of deals but has never paid
income tax, lives in rural idyllic bliss with generous-hearted Ma and their six children.

When a young earnest tax official, Mr Charlton, turns up one hot May afternoon in 1957 to investigate, he is bewitched immediately by eldest daughter Mariette and it isn't long before he succumbs to the boisterous Larkin family charm and largesse.

Old Mill Theatre presents
Female Transport

This is the dramatized story of six women convicts transported
from England to Australia at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Sydney Cove set sail in 1807 on the six month journey and this recounts
the determination of six of the women, whose story this is, to survive against
the conditions below decks and the indifference, brutality and
treatment considered ‘appropriate’ for criminals in ‘those days’.

Survive they do with wit, determination and sheer cunning, against the system
which treats them as less than human. There’s the Captain for whom this is a commercial venture, the Sergeant who is determined to make them obey,
the cabin-boy who doesn’t know which attitude to adopt and the Surgeon,
who tries his best to see that the women are treated reasonably
