What an evening ! At the History Council of South Australia awards last night, Of Auburn playwright Steve Oppes was honoured to be awarded Historian of the Year before an audience of politicians and history luminaries.
So many fabulously talented creatives were involved in creating Of Auburn and their invaluable contributions were acknowledged. Of particular note are co-producer Jean-Marc Spiler and director Lisa Harper Campbell.

Christina Hagger, Radio Adelaide Arts reviewer, writes "It is great theatre."

Adelaide Fringe Review: Of Auburn “How did the world descend to this depravity – did we not learn last time?” Lest we forget is real. Of Auburn is the life of women in World War One. It captures songs, their letters, diaries and un…

I have been asked by several patrons the names of the songs in Of Auburn. They are so sad and beautiful and the renditions by the Of Auburn trio have brought me to tears several times. The songs are: Mamman attend le facteur, Le Soldat, Le Temps de Cerises, Gottingen and Mon mari est parti.

The fabulous cast and crew of Of Auburn.

More pix from rehearsals of Of Auburn at the Lab. See the show tonight or tomorrow night at the Lab and Sunday at the Stirling Community Theatre.

Of Auburn had a fabulous Fringe premier in Balaklava yesterday. After seeing the show Margaret wrote: "I was so glad I could see your show, it was very moving and professionally presented. I so enjoyed the whole performance both actors, soloist and musicians and have already shared how good it is"
Tomorrow and Wednesday we are at the Lab in Light Square. Going to be amazing.
Here are some pix from rehearsals last week.

We have been fortunate to be selected for an Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund grant. The Fund is supported by the Arts Recovery Fund, Department of the Premier and Cabinet through Arts South Australia. Great stuff....thanks ADL Fringe and Arts SA.

Bonjour tout le monde. Come and see Of Auburn and so much more at the Auburn Frenchfest, September 10-12. Immerse yourself in French culture for the whole weekend, right on your doorstep....formidable, non?

The amazing Minnie Little Trio featuring Jasmine Ferguson on vocals, Ciara Ferguson on piano and Jack Overall on cello will be playing live in Of Auburn. They will perform original material as well as selected French songs that beautifully reflect the drama unfolding on stage.
This recording was taken from their first rehearsal which makes it all the more remarkable. Just a recorder plonked in the middle of the room. Enjoy. minnie little
