The event featured Dr Gillian Russell, from the Australian National University, talking about the significance of the playbill and of the role that theatre played in the early Australian colony; Amanda Muggleton performing a piece from the advertised play, The Tragedy of Jane Shore; and David Malouf giving a wider context to the document with a discussion of colonial life."
