Captain Moonlite: The Queer History of Australia's Gay Bushranger

A work-in-progress performance of Captain Moonlite: The Queer History of Australia’s Gay Bushrange

Created by Oliver de Rohan.

It’s 1868 and the Victorian Gold Rush has paid off all of Britain’s foreign debts. The city of Melbourne is on track to be the richest in the world. Andrew Scott, alias Captain Moonlite, has come for his share.

Award winning theatre maker Oliver de Rohan (The Road That Wasn’t There, This is Where We Live) brings the extraordinary true story of Captain Moonlite to the Alma stage in a brand new production. Encompassing bank robberies, prison breaks, naval chases, and transgressive love, this tale of high adventure is too good to miss.

Praise for The Road That Wasn’t There

“Skilful narrative story telling is an art in itself and de Rohan is as good as it gets.” - Theatreview, New Zealand
