The ship that never was

Strahan is famous for a couple of reasons. It's the most conveniently located spot to access the Gordon River and has recently been voted the friendliest town in the world by the Chicago tribune. It is also home to 'the ship that never was', the longest running play in Australia, a true story about the escape of 10 convicts from nearby Sarah Island.

An hour after arriving in town we were sitting at the open air theatre not really knowing what to expect. The show began and to our surprise I became Billy Russen, a musket wielding inmate with an attitude. I grasped my moment on stage and the rest is history.

I leave you with an excerpt from the Strahan Times. "Forget about Mr Pitt, this young Brad has something truly special and a good set of pins to match".
