A Goldfields, Christmas Carol
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas … well, okay … not a lot like Christmas but plans are definitely being made! A little Christmas spirit, a touch of Goldfields history and a much-loved Charles Dickens classic are coming together for a very special one-night-only performance in December. A Goldfields, Christmas Carol is a costumed radio play written by Jenny Davis OAM, taking us back to December 1895, to a tent camp near Coolgardie, where two prospectors discover that … perhaps there’s more to life than chasing gold.
It’s also a performance with a purpose.
Since 2012, Jenny Davis and a volunteer team of professional actors, musicians and technicians have raised more than eighty five thousand dollars for people experiencing homelessness and hardship. This year’s event will raise funds for Operation Sunshine WA, which supports women and children escaping family and domestic violence, children in out-of-home care and young people experiencing homelessness.
A Goldfields, Christmas Carol takes place on Friday 4 December, 7.00pm – 9.00pm at St George’s Cathedral, in the City.
Millie Williams chats with Jenny Davis OAM and Erin Tan from Operation Sunshine WA.
