Legendary frontierswoman, notorious daredevil, profane storyteller, unwomanly radical, Calamity Janeis an instantly recognisable and integral part of the legend of the Wild West.With irrepressiblespunk and a fierce disregard for gender expectations that was centuries head of her time, Calamity has captivated audiences for decades – and she’s coming to Sydney this March.
Directed by Richard Carroll (Side Show), the reimagining of Calamity Janestars Virginia Gay (TV’sAll SaintsandWinners & Losers; Hayes Theatre Co.’sHigh Society) as the rough-and-tumble heroine and brings a “barrelful of dirt and grit” to an old classic.
Audiences can expect an unruly and unpredictable ride as they’re immersed in the ridiculous world of raucous spontanaeity and theGolden Garter Saloon.
Calamity Janewill play at the Hayes Theatre Co. from Wednesday March 8 to Saturday April 1.
