Hope, Hardship and a Fortunate Life

Hope, Hardship and a Fortunate Life: Albert Facey.

From a simple farm upbringing Albert Facey’s self-described ordinary life has become an extraordinary inspiration.

One of the most-read Australian stories told by the boy from Wickepin who lived during the era of horse-drawn transport, through two world wars, surviving debilitating grief and injury, alongside one of the most moving love stories.

Experience a heartfelt adaptation, narrated by Facey’s own grandchild, alongside some of the most beautiful music ever written, portraying this remarkable tale, a narrative that has touched countless hearts and illuminated the profound beauty within a life well-lived.

One of three from PSO's unique chamber music series, 'WA Stories', connecting people with the stories of WA Icons.
