NEW WORKS: Pearl
Pearl, a musical play, due for performance in late 2006.
Pearl, a musical play written by Broome playwright RJ Roberts, is set in Broome, Western Australia, during the early 1900's, the
Golden Age of the pearling industry.
Pearl is the story of the love between
a young Japanese diver and the daughter of a pearling master of British
descent, set against the backdrop of the universal romance and adventure of
the pearling industry and Broome's rich multi-cultural heritage.
Pearl is a
unique Japanese/Australian musical, creatively exploring the strong ties
forged between two distinctively different cultures in a time when the
North West of Australia was an untamed frontier, when the allure of the
pearl attracted adventurers from all walks of life. Pearl takes audiences
of all ages into Broome's vivid history, tantalizing the imagination and
recreating a time gone by.
