THE SHIP THAT NEVER WAS – The Round Earth Company Pty Ltd
Written and directed by Tasmanian playwright Richard Davey, The Ship That Never Was tells the story of ten convict shipwrights from the Sarah Island Penal Settlement, who stole the last ship built at the settlement and made their escape to Chile. After living in Chile for a year, four convicts were handed back to the British, to be transported once again to Van Diemens Land. Put on trial in Hobart for ‘Mutiny and Piracy’, the four convicts are due to be hanged… BUT manage to wriggle out of it! The Ship That Never Was has been performed at The Richard Davey Amphitheatre by The Round Earth Company ever since 1994, making it the longest running play in Australia. This fun, interactive, family entertainment is performed at 5:30pm seven nights a week from September to May.
