By sheer coincidence, I reviewed the first product

By sheer coincidence, I reviewed the first production by Tempo Theatre for ABC radio’s 2CY in 1974 and it’s hard to believe that the venerable company is celebrating its 50th birthday this year., writes HELEN MUSA.

The birthday show will be a slap-up production of Mother and Son in a new and updated stage version written by Geoffrey Atherden and directed by long-time Tempo member Michael Weston.
In 1974 I remember having fun critiquing what was considered an edgy choice, the musical Bye-Bye Birdie.

I caught up with Tempo founder Joyce Macfarlane recently by phone, who told me how she and her staunch allies, musical director Rose Ianno and Charles Oliver, worked hard to form a society specifically to perform musicals that were “modern”.

“Beechworth is a town in northeast Victoria that has immense charm and, within its vicinity, around 30 producers of wine,” he writes.

“The town and its surrounds range from 550 metres to 800 metres above sea level. It has a high number of sunshine hours but the elevation means grapes that like cooler climes thrive.

“We were staying in Rutherglen, which is flat and seemingly vast, where brown dominates and big bold reds are made, along with memorable fortifieds.

“But on the afternoon of the second day of this sojourn, we decided to drive to Beechworth to get another perspective on wine and wine making and to escape the smoke haze from a bushfire reduction burn that covered the Rutherglen area.

Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author m

Do you like ghost stories? Local Canberra author may have the perfect new novel for you. 👻

Whether they believe in ghosts or not, Canberra author JJ Carpenter says every Australian seems to know a supernatural story.

There’s something inherently ghostly and spiritual about Australia, she says, and even though she doesn’t know how to define a ghost, she is sure they are real.

“When I was a kid, it was absolutely terrifying, I would wake up in the middle of the night and there’d be someone sitting at the end of my bed, and I wouldn’t be able to move,” says JJ.

“You don’t think about them as ghosts when you’re a kid, it’s just something that’s sort of happening.”

This month JJ published her first book, a ghost story titled The Corner of Her Eye.
