WEDNESDAY 14th MAY, Q Station marks the launch of Sydney’s newest original theatrical work, Defiance, written, produced and directed for Q Station (formerly Quarantine Station), by the creative team of Carlton Lamb Productions.
Set in a stunning location on North Head at the opening to Sydney Harbour, visitors will not only be entertained by Defiance but by the holistic experience that is inevitable at Q Station.
Defiance unveils the extraordinary real stories of men and women who were interned at Quarantine Station near Manly from 1828 until 1984 as the country battled to contain the outbreak of one of mankind’s greatest enemies, disease, including Smallpox (1881), Plague (1901) and Spanish Influenza (1919).
However, this isn’t just a nostalgic ‘look back in time’ as the audience is also thrust into the future to experience the simulation of a world epidemic of Avian Flu (2020). The production takes place at two locations in the original heritage site, immersing the audience into the experience with a combination of dramatic portrayals and stunning visual and special effects.
The audience sits inside the same authentic buildings where the stories actually happened and the actors are close enough to touch.
Be engaged, surprised and haunted by what you are about to learn and inspired by the show of human spirit which shaped our nation.
