Actress and Director Evelyn Krape and historian Dr Vivienne Nicholson have teamed up with the Brotherhood of St Laurence to develop the new theatre production Telling Tales, which has brought to life the stories of seven older people in the Mornington Peninsula.
Premiering at the Frankston Arts Centre this Wednesday morning as part of Seniors Week, Dr Nicholson said that each of the participants was interviewed at home, and their stories recorded. Ms Krape then crafted those stories into a production that includes words, song and humour and features all seven participants. For many, this is their first time on stage.
