| Lola's Keg Night is a new verbatim play with music based on the passionate life and times of Lola Wright - teacher, activist, performer, wife, mother, lover and much more. Whether teaching nursery rhymes to primary students, establishing the South Coast's first bush band, playing piano at local dances, singing 'The Red Flag' at miners' strikes or leading a sing-along of "The Internationale' at one of her infamous Pal Flats keg Nights, Lola's passion for music and social justice left its mark on all who knew her. This is a show that celebrates passion, resilience and our vibrant social history. It shows that an ordinary person can also be extraordinary. |
