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:Between Fact and Fiction\, History and Mythology: the Writing of a Gallipoli Story
DESCRIPTION:Join one of the world’s leading Gallipoli scholars Bruce Scates for a discussion of his ‚Äòimagined history‚Äô of the Anzac Landing and beyond. This talk will explore the research underpinning Professor Scates‚Äô most recent book On Dangerous Ground: A Gallipoli Story\, examine the contested truths of the past and consider the enduring importance of Gallipoli in our national consciousness.\n \nOn Dangerous Ground is about unresolved loss\, the need to know\, and a story of reconciliation that bridges countries and generations. Fusing literature\, fiction and history\, it journeys across a real and imagined landscape\, empowering voices and lives too long locked in the archives. Steeped in a deep knowledge of the past and courageously contemporary\, it asks what Gallipoli means in the twenty-first century. Professor Bruce Scates has led several battlefield tours of Gallipoli\, Crete and the Western Front. He also leads the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Tour at the express invitation of the Premier of Victoria. Bruce is the author of several acclaimed studies of memory and war\, including Return to Gallipoli: Walking the Battlefields of the Great War and A Place to Remember: A History of Victoria’s Shrine of Remembrance both published by Cambridge University Press. On Dangerous Ground: A Gallipoli Story is available now from UWA Publishing. \nCost: Free\, bookings essential \nEmail: muma.rsvp@monash.edu \nPh: 9905 4217
