This month we are in for a special late Sunday afternoon treat at Belvoir, enabling our members who have weekday commitments to attend.
In a street out the back of Kings Cross is a very special place – the Wayside Chapel. It’s a haven for the poor, the excluded, the misfits. It’s a place of faith and a place of love. And it’s a place where people could declare their love – sometimes in the face of fierce resistance from family, from society, from the church hierarchy. It’s a play of quiet heroism and heartache.
Written by Alana Valentine and co-directed by Hannah Goodwin and Eamon Flack, ‘Wayside Bride’ is based around stories that Belvoir asked from people who had married at the Wayside Chapel.
Commissioned and developed by Belvoir with the assistance of Wayside Chapel, the Noffs Foundation, the City of Sydney and Griffin Theatre Company.
