Merredin The Lost Quays : The Furthest Shore Tour
2025-11-21 19:00 - 22:00 (Australia/Perth)
After ten years of festivals of the southwest of WA, and interstate, it’s high time the good ship The Lost Quays left port again to head for The Furthest Shore‘! With our compass set for Esperance, we’ll be calling in on the outward voyage at Merredin and Kalgoorlie, and return stops at Ravensthorpe, Lake Grace, and a final special informal concert at Wave Rock! There will also be workshops at Kalgoorlie and Esperance.
Expect a show with plenty of traditional shanties and originals sea songs from the days of the tall ships. And no doubt a chance to sing along in a chorus or two! Performing in a mixture of a cappella (unaccompanied) and with accompaniment from guitar, mandolin, bodhrán and concertina, The Lost Quays are known for their energy, strong harmonies, engaging performances and relish a good audience connection. Welcome on board!
Hailing from the port of Fremantle, The Lost Quays are WA’s premier sea shanty band. Formed in 2015, the group are WA festival favourites, with a UK and Europe tour in 2018, performances at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart in 2019 & 2023, and at Canberra’s National Folk Festival in 2024. The Lost Quays had sold out shows ‘Under the Whale’ in the WA Museum Boola Bardip as part of Perth’s Fringe Festival in 2025. They host a long-established and popular monthly “Shanty Club” at Clancy’s in Fremantle. With four CDs to their credit, the group bring to life their maritime songs. Their repertoire includes many shanty standards and more reflective ‘below decks’ songs, plus originals, focussing on the days of sail around the coast of Western Australia and beyond. And live performances always provide interesting tales of maritime history

It’s Christmas time at the North Pole, and nothing is going quite as planned! There is supply issues on the toy assembly line, an annoyingly over-enthusiastic sleigh salesman hawking a new high-tech replacement for Santa’s regular sleigh, a teenage intruder who needs to find some festive spirit, and a band of elves who seem more interested in making trouble than making toys!

Meanwhile Algernon, Santa’s Chief of Staff, is determined to get everything sorted by Christmas Eve so that he can leave the North Pole and forget about everything Christmas. But housekeeper Octavia has a crush on Algernon. Will she get up the courage to express her feelings before he leaves the North Pole again?
If Algernon can’t rein in the reindeer and shelve the elves, this Christmas might be a little less Ho Ho Ho and a little more Oh No No!

Merredin Taking Liberty
2025-12-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Cummins Theatre, 31 Bates Street, Merredin, WA, 6415, Australia
THEATRE 180 in collaboration with WA Museum presents one of the greatest moments in Australian sporting history–the defeat of Liberty by Australia II in the 1983 America’s Cup. 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 that 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.
“THEATRE 180 is proud to continue our 31-year history of telling Western Australian stories with this production. Taking Liberty, as the title promises, highlights the tenacity, audacity and larrikin belief in resounding success which characterised the 1983 campaign to wrest America’s Cup from the bolt holes of the New York Yacht Club, where it had sat firmly for 132years.
Filled with colourful characters, drama and laughs aplenty, this play takes us back to the moment in time when Western Australia was put on the world map and the stage was set for the port city of Fremantle, where Australia II and her famous winged-keel now proudly hangs in our WA Maritime Museum, to shine.”Stuart Halusz, Artistic Director THEATRE 180
