INTERVIEW – Maude Davey – The Bridge

Australian actress Maude Davey comes into the studio to join David and Sue, discussing a play based on the 20 year anniversary of the West Gate Bridge collapsing, where 35 men died tragically. The play includes direct family stories to the families who lost their loved ones.

The play is on at the Substation hotel in Newport and runs from 22 – 24 of November.

Tickets are available here: https://thesubstation.org.au/whats-on/the-bridge/

The description from the direct website is as follows:

A highly regarded verbatim play by the late VICKI REYNOLDS, THE BRIDGE will be presented within a multi-media installation featuring video projection and design by Bindi Cold Chocka and music by James Henry. Directed by Donna Jackson and performed by an ensemble cast of actors and community members, THE BRIDGE revisits the collapse of a giant span of Melbourne’s Westgate Bridge in 1970 that claimed the lives of thirty-five workers.

This powerful installation and theatrical collaboration consider the historical impact and current ramifications of this event through the lens of past and present politics. The West Gate Bridge is more than a physical bridge; it is a link to the past, family and friends, between different cultures and into the future.

Presented by The SUBSTATION and The ART & INDUSTRY FESTIVAL.

Supported by Hobsons Bay City Council, Hubcap Productions and the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding advisory body.
