SUMMARY:Mud and Blood - WWI play by Meg McNena directed by Alice Bishop - Special Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mud and Blood\, Meg McNena’s compelling 80-minute\, six-actor play\, is about distinguished Australian general\, Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott\, who led the Essendon Rifles and took most of them to WWI. \n \nThe tenacity of Australian men and women is shown in battle and at home. Timing in 2018 with Anzac and Armistice centenaries adds impact. Set 1914-1921\, it shows how Pompey Elliott and a soldier’s mother deal with his vow to look after ‘his boys’ in war as if they were his own. This vow\, driving the play’s drama\, was made at a farewell to troops a century ago at Essendon Town Hall\, now the Clocktower Centre\, where Mud and Blood will be centre-stage on Fri 31 August. Women’s efforts and struggles are also pivotal . Please share in your networks and newsletter this opportunity to see a story about local heroes by a Moonee Ponds writer. \nA brilliant cast and skilled production team is powerfully directed by Alice Bishop\, who has been nominated for a Green Room Award for best director. Writer and producer\, Meg McNena\, has an Amnesty International Award and others for writing; this is her sixth play staged. Darren Mort\, a lawyer like Pompey\,plays his complex character masterfully. Humour and songs intone the era. \nMud and Blood‚Äôs Melbourne premiere is at the Clocktower Centre\, Moonee Ponds at 12 noon on Friday 31 August with a Q&A and talk by Ross McMullin\, awarded historian\, biographer and author of two books on Pompey Elliott (included in the matinee price) and opening night is 8pm 31 August. \nElliott trained youth in the Essendon Rifles militia; three units of his 7th Battalion came from the Northern suburbs and one from the Western suburbs; they trained at Broadmeadows and went with him to Gallipoli\, Lone Pine\, Fromelles and trenches of The Somme\, where Elliott turned the outcome of WWI in the Allies favour. Pompey inspires as husband\, father\, brother\, friend\, leader\, veteran and senator – the soldier before and after war; the stalwart wife keeps the family going; the cost for Pompey in making this heartfelt but impossible promise and returning to unveil honour boards and memorials. \nWe want to share this significant history of world-changing times for the newly declared nation of Australia and to increase awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder. \nHere is the vox pop from our successful preview in Charlton\, where Pompey was born. \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:An Australian foreign policy? Australia in War and Peace\, 1914-19
DESCRIPTION:The question of whether an Australian foreign policy existed during the First World War arises because there was no Department of Foreign Affairs at that time.\nThrough ‚ÄòAustralia in War and Peace\, 1914-19‚Äô\, a major collaborative research project between the Menzies Centre for Australian Studies (MCAS) at King‚Äôs College London and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in Canberra\, we illustrate that there was indeed an Australian foreign policy at the time\, despite the lack of recognisable instruments and institutions. Australian foreign policy operated instead in an imperial context. The ultimate goal of our project is to produce a volume of Documents on Australian Foreign Policy on War and Peace\, 1914-19. The publication will follow the model of the previous volume produced by the same partners\, Australia and the United Kingdom\, 1960-1975\, which consisted of painstakingly selected\, historically significant Australian and British documents illuminating the Anglo-Australian relationship. In this talk we will outline the main features of the new research project\, explore its major themes and share some of the fruits of our research so far. \nTuesday 4 December\, 5.30pm arrival for a 6pm start. Light refreshments served.\nLocation: Visitor Centre\, Shrine of Remembrance.\nCost: Gold coin donation. \nBookings go to: http://www.shrine.org.au/Visit-the-Shrine/Talks-and-Events/An-Australian-foreign-policy—Australia-in-War-an
