Jack Charles V The CrownSaturday 3 August, 8pmUncle Jack Charles is an Australian legend: veteran actor, musician, Koori elder and activist, but for a good portion of his nearly 70 years he has also been an addict, a thief and a regular in Victoria’s prisons. From Stolen Generation to Koori theatre in the 70s, from film sets to Her Majesty’s prisons, Jack Charles V The Crown runs the gamut of a life lived to its utmost. Charles’ unswerving optimism transforms this tale of addiction, crime and doing time into a kind of vagabond’s progress – a map of the traps of dispossession and a guide to reaching the age of grey-haired wisdom. Accompanied by a three-piece band, this one man show is a theatrical delight and a celebration of one of the country’s near forgotten treasures brought to us by the oldest Indigenous theatre company in Australia.“Steeped in decades of our history (social, political, theatrical), surprisingly upbeat… a warm-hearted, very entertaining evening.” - Sydney Morning Herald____________________________________________________________________________BREC is supported by Bunbury Mail, ABC South West and Lotterywest. ...moreBuy Now

The Comedy of ErrorsThursday 8 August, 11am & 7.30pmTwo sets of identical twins are separated at birth when they’re rescued from a shipwreck. And when they end up in the same shifty, transitory port-town of Ephesus fully grown, we join them on their bizarre journey of reconciliation.As they collide unknowingly with each other’s friends and family, it’s not long before this absurd tale of mistaken identity and far-fetched coincidence unfolds in chaotic hilarity.Imara Savage takes on one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies with style. Sharp banter and comical word-play lure us into a contemporary world where characters are reinvented, individuality is fluid, and bigger themes lie just below the surface.Over the course of this fast-paced comedy, truths are increasingly unstable, accidents more unfortunate and the boundary between what’s real and what isn’t becomes even more tenuous.____________________________________________________________________________BREC is supported by Bunbury Mail, ABC South West, GWN7 and Lotterywest. ...moreBuy Now
Sarah BlaskoFriday 9 August, 8pm Sarah Blasko returns to Australia in July from Paris where she has been spending some time supporting the release of her album and performing throughout Europe. Accompanied by her long time band, she will undertake an extensive regional Australian tour as well as appearing at Splendour in the Grass. In anticipation of the tour, and the next part of the journey that is Sarah’s fourth album I Awake, Blasko also presents the new single All Of Me with an accompanying video. Working with Wilk, a visual artist Blasko has collaborated with on many occasions and whose work she much admires, the two set out to create something pure but unsettling together, a performance based video that was at once equally beautiful, and strange. “You will find yourself richer for entering this world ****" - The Courier Mail "…a bittersweet symphony… In a word: captivating ****” Herald Sun ...moreBuy NowBREC Event Search
