| Description |
Fannie Bay Gaol, now a museum, holds a very special place for the people of Darwin. Almost everyone has a tale to tell about what went on there – many stories were sad and painful, but many were hilarious and evoked the anarchic side of territory life. We took tales from 1886 to 1974 when doors were opened to release prisoners as cyclone Tracy headed towards the town, and have created a physical show using dance, imagery, giant puppets and live music within the grounds of the former gaol. |
