Perth Theatre Company, in association with Ensemble Theatre presents:

Stories From Suburban Road

Starring: Michelle Doake, Kim de Lury, Kate Mulvany, Rohan Nichol, Toni Pearen, and Craig Williams.


Based on Tom Hungerford's autobiography, Stories From Suburban Road vividly portrays the pleasure and pain of growing up in South Perth between the two world wars. Each cast member tells an animated tale of Tom's experiences over seven stories, which charmingly evokes a shared knowledge and memory of a golden age gone by. This beautifully realised and highly energetic production includes songs, music (courtesy of ukulele, harmonica and spoons) and mime and will warm your heart whilst tickling your funny bone.

First produced for the 1991 Festival of Perth, Stories received critical acclaim and achieved capacity audiences. This latest production was the hit of the Ensemble Theatre's Australian drama season staged during the Olympics and charmed audiences and critics alike.

Stories From Suburban Road is a distinctly Australian production and comes at a time when Australian stories have captured our hearts. It personifies what growing up in Australia and Australians, are all about.
