Louisa's Walk
Tasmania's premier tourist attraction, Louisa's Walk is a 'live
history show', that tells the heartbreaking story of an Irish
woman, Louisa Regan, who was sent to Australia in 1841 as a
convict, on a seven-year sentence for stealing a loaf of bread.
This piece of 'strolling theatre' - thoroughly researched,
appropriately narrated, and well-acted - takes the audience through
the historic areas of Hobart, before ending up at the climactic
location of the Cascade Female Factory, an infamous prison
workhouse. The purpose of the show is to fascinate, inform and
challenge audiences - to allow them to experience, through the
medium of theatre, the chilling origins of Australia's settler
history. Referred to time and again as the one thing everybody
should see while in Hobart, Louisa's Walk is an educational
experience that holds the affective power of theatre, and should
not be missed.
