A play with lyrical monologues and music composed/performed by Jay Cameron, The Story of the Oars is a bold new Australian theatrical work about the repercussions of telling the truth. It’s also an audacious exploration of Australian class, privilege, and the power of place to enchant, repel, and – ultimately – heal.
A Street Produced Professional Theatre Production.
