The Theo Barker Memorial Lecture will start at 6pm at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre. Rachael Coopes will speak on the topic “The ghosts of the past are very present in Bathurst”. With a deep passion for research-heavy projects, a desire to create theatre for young people, and a fascination with how Australia's past informs its present, Ms Coopes will delve into the complex process of merging history with imagination. She will discuss the challenges and joys of using “true” (as true as they ever are) historical stories to inspire writing for theatre - after all, history is just “his” story. And how to discover that tiny piece of gold in mountains of research that allows a story to develop that entertains, engages and starts a dialogue with young people.
