COMING TO TRIABUNNA
The Man Who Was Drowned
Triabunna: FRIDAY, 29TH APRIL AT 2.00 P.M.
Swansea: SATURDAY, 30TH APRIL, 2016 AT 2.30 PM.
Henry Lawson (1867 – 1922) was one of Australia’s much loved and best known writers and poets of the colonial period, although lesser known were his constant struggles with the demons that controlled his life.
Melbourne Theatre Company actor David Tredinnick’s one act play brings Lawson to life, as Tredinnick, above, fearlessly portrays not only Lawson’s writing, but also his excesses, his alcoholism, depression and poverty.
Tredinnick’s first major role as a lead in the Melbourne Theatre Company production of Angels in America in 1993 won him a Green Room Award. He went on to appear on stage in The Talented Mr. Ripley, Roulette, Dealer’s Choice, Strangers in the Night and Dead on Time.
David is also known for his role in the television series The Secret Life of Us and has made a number of guest appearances in All Together Now, Blue Heelers, Something in the Air, State Coroner and Halifax (for which he was nominated for an AFI award).
Following recent successful appearances in Melbourne, David is looking forward to bringing The Man Who was Drowned to Tasmania.
Bookings are essential and can be made at the Council Offices, Triabunna, 6256 4777 or at Bear Cottage, Swansea.
Tickets: $25 per person.
