The cast and crew are scattered across Australia yet by exploring the rich language given to us by Shakespeare we have been able to create something that responds with humanity and humour to this well-known and much loved play.

A Chorus Line tells the story of a group of dancers, desperate for that next job and having to bare their souls in the process. At a time when so many artists have had their livelihoods taken from them, A Chorus Line, online, captures the love, struggle and dedication of all performers in this innovative version of a classic.
Directed by Anthony Crowley, Music Direction by Daniele Buatti & Daniel Tusjak, Choreography by Teresa Colantuono & Jess Redmayne

Our second episode presented by Tales From Rat City is "The Robbery of the McIvor Gold Escort."

To most bushrangers, to attack one of these escorts was suicide!
In episode 2 of Love, Ballarat, we will talk about one of the few gold escort robberies that was successful - and the grisly consequences!
