It features songs and music from the era and an all-female cast led by Linda Campbell (Nellie), Gillian Faye Mears (Madeline) and Alana Blakeney (Alice). The play covers the World War II years to the announcement of the soldiers' return and beyond. "It's nice to have slapstick or left-of-field shows, but Wollongong needs to see the stories that gave Wollongong its spirit, and no one embodies that as much as Wendy Richardson does." "We have a reputation for pushing boundaries, but also local stories because nobody is bringing true local stories ," Phoenix Theatre and the show's director Steen said. Lights out Nellie Martin is a play written by Wollongong playwright Wendy Richardson that was first performed in 1990.Īlmost 25 years on, the play returns to the same theatre when it opens at the Phoenix Theatre in Coniston on Friday, April 10.
