CircuitWest: Taking Liberty by Ingle Knight
11 December 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm AEDT

In an epic, against the odds finish to a best of seven race, Skipper John Bertrand led his crew to turn the tide from a 3 – 1 deficit in race five and claim victory in a nail biting decider, one of the biggest comebacks in sporting history.
Combining the excitement of live theatre against a cinematic backdrop, Taking Liberty by Ingle Knight celebrates the moment in time which defined a nation and gave international prominence to our cultural identity and fighting spirit, ending America’s 132 year dominance of the sport in what became known as the Race of the Century.
A story of enormous national significance: one of grit, perseverance, technological innovations and the athleticism of those who changed the course of history.
