Yours Truly recounts wartime love stories through music and danceYours Truly explores the heartbreaking stories of three women and three men separated by the war. By Portal Admin - 2nd March 2017 - Back to News On 3 September 1939, the then Prime Minister, Robert Gordon Menzies, announced Australia's involvement in the Second World War. Yours Truly explores the heartbreaking stories of three women and three men separated by the war. The show will be performed at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre on Sunday 26 March at 2pm.
Latrobe City Council’s performing arts and venues coordinator, Kathleen Roberts, said the show was set against the backdrop of 1940s rural Australia.
"Choreographed by Australian choreographers Paul Malek and Kim Adam, Yours Truly will inspire and move you. With a softly lit stage and emotive music, the lives of three couples are exposed to the upheaval of war and its emotional repercussions. This is historical drama at its best, Australian stories come to life, song and dance breathing weaving heartbreak on stage," Ms Roberts said.
Green Room Award Nominee Jayden Hicks and local dancer Lauree Malek star, alongside Kurt Dwyer-Williams, Danika Sayce, Lachlan Hall and Lucy Doherty.
Music by Antony and the Johnsons, a New York-based alternative rock band known for their cinematic orchestral arrangements and haunting vocals.
"Please come and immerse yourself in this gripping and emotionally charged show offering a glimpse into our country’s past," Ms Roberts concluded.
Yours Truly will be performed at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre on Sunday 26 March at 2pm.
