I Wish You A Boat

REVIEW, Peter Green, Arts Beat, 3MBS -- “They are the new kids on the block and have bravely staked out their territory with the Australian premiere of I Wish You A Boat… a brilliant – and I cannot overstress – BRILLIANT second act. It’s the best depiction of that kind of event I have ever seen… I was shell-shocked. This performance is truly ensemble, and it is extremely well directed by Wendy Ward, the founder of Ward Theatre. All I can say is people should get themselves along. I cannot speak too highly of it.”


I Wish You A Boat is living proof that live theatre can provide passage to the human experience in ways that the big screen cannot. In bringing the story of a 19th-century shipwreck to a space as intimate as your living room, Director Wendy Ward asks the audience to bear personal witness to the sinking of a ship where only the privileged survive. Beautiful ensemble acting, a shocking second act, horrifying yet tenderly performed with an extraordinary esprit de corps.
