Frank Hatherley...new musical.

DSP writer Frank Hatherly is having a sparkling year...

In November The New Theatre in Sydney is staging his comedy 'Manly Mates' - centred on a riotous day with a corrupt NSW Premier and his Police Commissioner.     

*There's  to be a revival in Sydney of his Play 'My Henry Lawson'.

*The Marie Clark theatre in Adelaide  is staging 'The Merry Widow from Bluegum Creek'.

  and as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Elizabethan Theatre Trust    ...Frank is writing a new Australian musical - " Rosie "   with Peter Stannard the composer of 'Lola Montez.'

'Rosie'.  will be staged at the Independent Theatre in North Sydney in August.

It is a fabulous story about a real life woman who sold flowers in Martin Place for 30 years and sang to her customers.

She dreamt of being a star - but never made it.

I have had pleasure in singing some of the delightful songs at concerts and readings.
