I
attended an excellent performance of this one-man play about the life
of Ben Chifley with Tony Barry as the former Labor prime minister. The
play takes place one evening, shortly before Chifley's death, with
Chifley working on a speech and his memoirs. Barry's performance as
Chifley was masterful and affectionate.
The last performances of the play are 26 and 27 Sept in Bathurst - Chifley's birthplace.
