Description From the strikingly staged opening tableau of a street scene, the backstage talents have got it right for this ambitious show, with 28 actors bringing gold-rush Ballarat to life. Ms Wright's cleverest touch occurs at the end of the first act, when the gold miners and citizens spill over into the audience to watch Lola Montez perform her infamous spider dance.
