JAN WOSITZKY & PENNY GLASS in Dignified Anger – Stories for a Perilous Now
Presented by the Illawarra Folk Club and the Wollongong Golf Club, under the sponsorship of the Great Southern Nights
“I laughed , I cried…”
“What a magical, mystical, uplifting afternoon”
“Beautifully structured , important storytelling for our times” “Profound messages conveying the complexity and futility and courage of living. Crikey it was rich.”
All seamlessly linked with personal recollections of growing up in migrant families, coming to terms with our indigenous -colonial history and …a love story on 5-string banjo, quena, flute, harmonica, bodhran and bones.
Performed by Jan Wostiszky OAM , who grew up listening to stories of his Czech-Scots family. He was the co-founder of the much loved band, The Bushwackers and has had a fifty plus year career of storytelling in theatre, radio and TV. Performing with Penny Glass who worked in community and political theatre in Australia and 20 years with prison theatre in Chile, where she co-founded the cultural activist collective Colective Sustento.
Absolutely amazing show! Superb!
