It's been 30 years since Bran Nue Dae was first brought to the stage at UWA's Octagon Theatre for the 1990 Festival of Perth. Its full-circle return to Perth brings the groundbreaking musical to The Regal Theatre in Subiaco, as an Opera Conference Production in association with Perth Festival. For those of us who weren't around in Perth in '90, and who have only come to know the musical through the film version made in 2009, this revival is timely and sorely needed.

The Opera Conference's new production of Jimmy Chi (Book, Music and Lyrics) and Kuckles' (Music and Lyrics) absurd road trip story of friendship, family and forgiveness, BRAN NUE DAE, is absolute joy while still holding important messages for both Australia's relationship with the Indigenous community and humanity in general.
