Description Millicent was a WW1 soldier settler farmer out at Gundurrah, prior to moving in to Goulburn. Her marvellously entertaining plays have languished for too long, so Music Theatre Projects Ltd are bringing them back. Each performance is rustic and raw, relying on the seriously honed acting skills of 6 professional actors from the local region. Their characterisation and storytelling skills, sit within an intimate performance style enhanced by a cinematic soundtrack recorded at Old Binda Rd Studios, Crookwell. Each play has its own distinct mood, ranging from gothic to ghostly, hilarious to harrow
