ILBIJERRI Theatre Company

Bindi Cole

ILBIJERRI is Australia’s leading and longest running Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Theatre Company.

Jack Charles V The Crown is based on the life of Uncle Jack Charles, spoken in his own words. Uncle Jack Charles is an Australian legend: veteran actor, musician, Koorie elder and activist, but for a good portion of his nearly 70 years he has also been an addict, a thief and a regular in Victoria’s prisons.

From Stolen Generation to Koori theatre in the 70s, from film sets to Her Majesty’s prisons, Jack Charles V The Crown runs the gamut of a life lived to its utmost. Charles’ unswerving optimism transforms this tale of addiction, crime and doing time into a kind of vagabond’s progress – a map of the traps of dispossession and a guide to reaching the age of grey-haired wisdom.

Accompanied by a three-piece band, this one-man show is a theatrical delight and a celebration of one of the country’s near forgotten treasures.
