By Angela Scrymgour Win tickets to Rainbow's End at the Civic Theatre Newcastle, as well as enjoy drinks and canapes with the 1233 team before the performance on Wednesday August 3.
Three generations of Koori women: Nan Dear; her feisty daughter, Gladys; and Dolly, her clever teenage granddaughter live in a shack on a flood-prone riverbank on the outskirts of a country town. For Nan, even life on 'the Flats' represents progress of a kind, but Gladys has bigger ambitions for a real house and a real job for Dolly. When Gladys takes on buying the Encyclopaedia Britannica from city salesman Errol Fisher to improve Dolly's chances, their lives take an unexpected and challenging turn.
Set against the Queen's visit in the 1950s with music that evokes the period, Rainbow's End celebrates the transformative power of learning and the fierce optimism of women as they struggle for community acceptance in conservative, Menzies' era Australia.
Listen to 1233 Breakfast from Monday 25 July for your chance to win tickets to this exclusive event at the Civic Theatre Newcastle.
