The Thorn Birds – A Musical

In spring 2009 The Wales Theatre Company presents the world premiere of a new musical version of The Thorn Birds.

Colleen McCullough’s block buster novel has sold over 30 million copies world-wide and was originally adapted for screen, in the iconic TV mini series of the 80’s starring Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward.

Now The Thorn Birds has been turned into a sensational new musical by Colleen McCullough herself, with music by Gloria Bruni, and produced by the multi-award winning team of The Wales Theatre Company.

Set in the rugged Australian outback, three extraordinary generations of the Cleary family live through joy and sadness, bitter defeat and magnificent triumph, torn apart by dark passions and a scandalous family legacy of forbidden love.

With: Helen Anker as Meggie, Judith Paris as Mary Carson and Peter Karrie as The Cardinal
