Liverpool Performing Arts Ensemble: Captain Moonlite
16 May @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm AEST
Captain Moonlite tells the captivating true story of the Irish-born, Australian bushranger, Captain Moonlite, AKA Andrew ‘George’ Scott, who led a ragged bunch of young misfits to stage a siege and shoot out near Gundagai, NSW. The musical is set in a death cell of Sydney’s Darlinghurst Gaol (today’s National Art School) on the eve of Captain Moonlite’s execution in 1880.
We hear (told directly from his unsent and previously suppressed death cell letters) about the events that led up to his execution including the birth of the Captain Moonlite legend, the alleged bank robbery and the siege and shoot out that led to the death of his male lover and fellow outlaw, James Nesbitt.
