Captain Moonlite: The Queer History of Australia's Gay Bushranger

Monday showing at 6.30pm | Tuesday & Wednesday at 8pm

A work-in-progress performance of Captain Moonlite: The Queer History of Australia’s Gay Bushranger

Created by Oliver de Rohan
Developed with Toby Hulse

It’s 1868 and the Victorian Gold Rush has paid off all of Britain’s foreign debts. The city of Melbourne is on track to be the richest in the world. Andrew Scott, alias Captain Moonlite, has come for his share.

Award winning theatre maker Oliver de Rohan (The Road That Wasn’t There, This is Where We Live) brings the extraordinary true story of Captain Moonlite to the Alma stage in a brand new production. Encompassing bank robberies, prison breaks, naval chases, and transgressive love, this tale of high adventure is too good to miss.

Created with support from the Alma Theatre and Schoolhouse Productions.

Praise for The Road That Wasn’t There
