Westward Ho!
Westward Ho! is a play for voices. It was first performed at the Higher Ground Theatre by the Centre for International Theatre (CIT) at the 2012 Adelaide Fringe. The story begins with sixty-something ex-Greyhound trainer, George Lake, recovering in hospital from an unnamed condition. A stranger, a twelve-year-old boy, arrives and tells him to get dressed - a man has asked to see him. After some argument, George agrees to go. The pair follow a map the man has given the boy. They walk, dance and sing their way through Adelaide, passing the homes, workplaces, pubs and alleyways in which George has spent his life.
A story of love and secrets lost, forgotten and found, perhaps too late – a city, a boy and an old-man, drifting west.
