I have written about Adela Pankhurst
before and I hope by now you have heard of the recent street opera project, Serenading Adela. The performance has
been and gone now, but it’s been an amazing community project,
commissioned by the Brunswick Coburg Anti-Conscription Centenary Group and
funded by Creative Victoria with support from the City of Moreland, the
Victorian Trades Hall Council, the CPSU (Victoria Branch) and a number of
individual donors.
Its world premiere was held in the
Pentridge courtyard on 7 January 2018, exactly one hundred years after the
events it depicts. Jeannie Marsh was the artistic
director and Lisa-Marie Parker played the part of Adela. You can see images of
the performances at Pentridge and elsewhere here and read more about the
project and the activities of the Brunswick Coburg Anti-Conscription Centenary
Group here.
