On the 100-year anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, Christine Harris and HIT Productions are presenting a fresh take on the Australian classic The One Day Of The Year.
The controversial 1960s production was written by Alan Seymour, and during the play’s first-ever production, not only did Seymour receive multiple death threats, but policemen were stationed at the stage door to ward off the angry public.
The play looks at the national legend of ANZAC Day through the eyes of generation, class and character. It’s a challenging and poignant work that holds as much significance today as it did 50 years ago.
The One Day Of The Year runs at The Riverside Theatre from Tuesday March 24 – Saturday March 28. Tickets starts at $35 are available from the theatre’s website.
