Our 13-strong Once on Chunuk Bair cast’s grabbing some well-deserved rest before soldiering on with our final 4 performances 7:30pm this Wed to Sat. This is well worth seeing as a moving & engrossing portrayal of our brave ANZACs in Gallipoli and a window onto the reality of war.

You're probably thinking there's a lot of men in our latest production - and you'd be right! This is the largest all male cast Company Theatre has had the pleasure of working with :)
2 more of them are;
Connor Charlesworth who plays MAC
Connor is a New Zealand actor who, after leaving high school, trained and worked in London for several years. He studied at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts and the Guildford School of Acting, and was also a member of the UK National Youth Theatre.
Stage credits include The Importance of Being Earnest (The Actors Church, Covent Garden; The Chelsea Playhouse),
Against, Consensual, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as new writing productions such as Beat Poetry and a stage adaptation of Le Morte d’Arthur.
Connor has found working on Mac in Chunuk Bair, to be an exploration of the shift from strength and certainty into something more fragile and uncertain, particularly enjoying the discovery of quieter, more human moments within a character who initially presents as strong and assured.

and Daniel Rundle who plays FRED (the Sergeant's young brother)
Daniel graduated from The Actor's Program in 2024, and has been acting in short films, commercials and amateur feature films. This is his first theatre show since graduating from the course and he is very excited to share the story of the heroic soldiers who fought at Chunuk Bair.
