Westall '66: The Musical

April 6th, 1966. It is just another ordinary school day at Westall State School.  Mr

Forester stands in front of his class, teaching the lessons of the day.

​

When suddenly, everything changes.

​

A student runs into the class; panicked, excited and fearful. The class is thrown into turmoil, and Mr Forester desperately tries to calm them down. He demands that the student explain the disturbance.

​

“There’s flying saucers on the oval...”

​

Based on the true events from Melbourne's own history, this new musical explores the events as they were reported, and asks of the audience one question: What do you believe?
