AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is the story of a group of washed up rockers who wind up in a caravan park. Amongst these battle hardened creatures a sensitive young boy comes of age. But it is quite an unusual van park. Enter the exotic love interest and let the music begin. JPY's seventies hit song Yesterday's Hero is a truly fitting finale.' Source: http://chapeloffchapel.com.au/ (sighted 21/03/2012).

Notes

  • 'The script was lovingly hand-crafted by well known documentary maker Greg Appel. Originally the result of a fleeting idea that he and Paul Clarke had while driving past a Caravan Park during the making of A Long Way to the Top (ABC TV 2001). The music was then created by Greg's brother Steve Appel who's garage cabaret band "King Curly" have become part of the show.' Source: http://chapeloffchapel.com.au/ (Sighted 21/03/2012).

Production Details

  • Premiered at the 2010 Sydney Fringe Festival.
