Umbrella Events in association with Creative Universe presents the world premiere of Driftwood - The Musical.
Directed by esteemed theatre-maker Wesley Enoch AM, this epic story based on the original memoir by Eva de Jong-Duldig, has been adapted for the stage by award-winning playwright Jane Bodie.
Driftwood – The Musical is the inspirational story of the renowned Austrian/Australian sculptor Karl Duldig and his artist/inventor wife, Slawa Horowitz-Duldig. It follows their lives in pre-war Vienna, Slawa’s ingenious invention of the foldable umbrella, and an incredible chain of events after miraculously escaping the Holocaust and rebuilding their careers as artists in Melbourne. It is a magical story of art and creativity, survival and perseverance, family, freedom and love.
Karl Duldig and Slawa Horowitz-Duldig’s granddaughter, acclaimed Soprano Tania de Jong AM performs the lead role of Slawa with Anton Berezin playing Karl Duldig, Fem Belling (Rella Horowitz-Laisné), Sara Reed (Eva) and Troy Sussman (Ignaz/Marcel/others) rounding out the all-Jewish cast.
Driftwood - The Musical features original music and arrangements by Anthony Barnhill with lyrics by Tania de Jong AM and Jane Bodie.
