Anvil

‘A great Australian musical’ – Sydney Arts Guide
‘This gem is not just special because it is new but because it is bloody good’ – Black Box Theatre
‘It fills the stage and tugs at the heart’ – Wollongong Workshop Theatre.

Passionate Irish woman blacksmith, Anne Woodville, leads the Ribbon Gang in Australia's greatest convict rebellion, shaking the facade of respectability and privilege in colonial New South Wales. Anvil fights the establishment, fights for a convict’s love and fights to forge herself freedom in a society of subjugation. A historical fantasy with modern values, ANVIL blends sultry jazz seducers, soaring broadway ballads and the odd Gilbert and Sullivan-esque patter number to form an Australian epic.
