14.01.2022 One of our lovely followers/member has kindly shared this for anyone that is interested... Did you ever read the book by AB Facey, A Fortunate Life If you have then this may excite you... ... If you haven't, do so, it's exceptional and considered an Australian Masterpiece. Ace Cinemas - Rockingham in conjunction with theatre 180 have for a strictly limited time the stage and movie production of the play A Fortunate Life. To watch a bit of the show click here. https://vimeo.com/438056067/01cbb4f479 To book click here. https://afortunatelife.com.au To find out more about the book click here. This is the extraordinary life of an ordinary man. It is the story of Albert Facey, who lived with simple honesty, compassion and courage. A parentless boy who started work at eight on the rough West Australian frontier, he struggled as an itinerant rural worker, survived the gore of Gallipoli, the loss of his farm in the Depression, the death of his son in World War II and that of his beloved wife after sixty devoted years - yet he felt that his life was fortunate. Facey's life story, published when he was eighty-seven.
