What a team of superb creative talents we have working on 21 Hearts: Vivian Bullwinkel and the Nurses of the Vyner Brooke.
They expertly bring together the elements of (L-R) Lighting Design (Rowan van Blomestein), AV design (Josephine Hayes – Gneiss Design), Music Direction (Craig Skelton), Movement Direction (Rachael Bott) and Sound Design (Ben Collins) to evoke 1942 Singapore and the events on Bangka Island and in the POW camps.
We also enter the various dream states of Vivian Bullwinkel’s life as she calls to mind the memory and spirits of her friends who didn’t survive the war, and whose sacrifice drove her illustrious career that was committed to their memory.
Richly textured, evocative and deeply moving, this team has perfectly captured the essence of Jenny Davis’ superb, powerful and nuanced script, directed with such sensitivity by Stuart Halusz.
