Fremantle Markets |
Date: Friday, Saturday and Sundays 2010
Venue: Corner Henderson St and South Terrace
| Contact Details: |
Fremantle Markets is not just a collection of exciting shops and stalls and entertainment. With everything from fresh and interesting foods, to fantastic crafts, gifts and the fun of buskers and artists, it's a cultural experience rich in history and tradition.
No tourist visit to Fremantle would be complete without checking out this important part of WA heritage.
Sir John Forest laid the foundation stone on Saturday 6 November 1897. Since this time, the Fremantle Markets have developed a unique and vibrant identity. With a wide ethnic base built over many years of immigration, the markets not only play an important role in perpetuating WA's heritage and tradition, but offer a fantastic atmosphere and dazzling display of cultural richness.
Over 150 stalls are housed in a grand old Victorian building of such remarkable character that it was listed by the National Trust and Heritage Council in 1980.
The precinct, which includes the Sail & Anchor Hotel, the Norfolk Hotel, the Warders Cottages and Scots Church, is also listed on the Commonwealth Government's Heritage Commission Registrar of the National Estate.

This exhibition of artwork is the result of a project initiated as a memorial to the 1834 Pinjarra Massacre. Through research over many years, extensive information has been accumulated about the massacre of the Bindjareb Nyungars at the hands of a group led by Governor James Stirling in October 1834 in the small WA town of Pinjarra. This subject has been the most significant issue in the town for many years and through the research, continued observance of a memorial day and grass roots development ideas, this project concept emerged.

As frontman and principle songwriter for eighties hit machine Men at Work, Colin Hay is responsible for one of the most identifiable sounds in pop music: infectious, Caribbean-spiked blue-eyed soul with a pointedly quizzical lyrical outlook. Classic songs like "Down Under," "Overkill," and "Who Can It Be Now" unfold before the ears like miniature movies, with timeless twists and a bittersweet sense of humour.

In 2010 the Fremantle Street Arts Festival’s will be in its 12th year!

For the artists, street performance is not a mere stepping stone onto greater things. Polished acts from all over the world, with established careers in stage, screen, music, circus, stand up comedy and cabaret will appear on the streets of Fremantle during the Festival.
There are as many varieties of street artists as there are motivations for street performing. Some artists enjoy the travel, some enjoy playing to diverse audiences, many who would not normally see theatre in a venue, some enjoy the direct contact and spontaneous audience participation. The one thing they all have in common is that they CHOOSE to work in street theatre and they all rely on your contributions to stay there.
So this Easter bring your family and friends and head down to experience an unforgettable weekend of world class entertainment as well as everything else Fremantle has to enjoy. Don't forget to bring a hat, some sunscreen and your sense of humour.
Enjoy!

“Mulvany’s play bursts from the stage: rollicking, furious, explosive and untrammeled” The Australian
“Enlightening and enlivening, The Danger Age makes for engrossing entertainment.”
Time Off Magazine”
An absurd chain of events is set in motion when a ten-year-old boy named (coincidentally) John Curtin gets caught in international political intrigue. After he accidentally receives a call from President Roosevelt intended for his Prime Ministerial namesake, the chronically asthmatic Curtin must attempt to save his hometown of Kalbarri from a potential disaster that would split his world in two. Enlisting a small army including a foul-mouthed sock puppet, a Nyoongar girl named Albert Namitjira and a Japanese doctor, young Curtin’s adventures make for an absurdly comic, wickedly inventive and visually rich exploration of our country’s past.
From celebrated WA playwright Kate Mulvany (The Seed), and with acclaimed director Sally Richardson at the helm, this production promises to be a visually dynamic and hugely funny play. Leading a stellar cast, we are also delighted to welcome back to WA, actors Gibson Nolte and Hayley McElhinney (Sydney Theatre Company’s War of the Roses).

“Lively and entertaining” The West
“A bloody brilliant show…bloody funny” Fremantle Herald
Footy.
An unforgiving legal system.
The Krakouer brothers.
Deckchair Theatre present the world premiere of Krakouer! written by Reg Cribb and based on Sean Gorman’s Brother Boys.
Mount Barker’s most famous sons, Jim and Phil Krakouer took the Australian football world by storm in the early 1980s. Their unique and anarchic brand of football, dubbed “black magic”, captured the imagination of the nation. This is the story of the challenges they faced in their rise to the top of their game; their skill, daring and resilience both on and off the sporting field, and the controversy and adversity that has met them throughout their lives.
In the 70’s no one could touch the Krakouers. Debuting into professional football with the ‘blue blooded’ Claremont, the boys propelled the Tigers to their first Grand Final in decades. In Melbourne they reached new heights with the mighty Kangaroos until injury and personal dramas undid their careers. But this is more than a tale of football prowess. This is about two ‘Brother boys’ who fought with and for each other against racial vilification, gambling addiction, an unforgiving legal system and personal tragedy.
Don’t miss out on this special return season, before our critically acclaimed and hugely entertaining production heads on a regional WA tour in 2010 and a national tour in 2011 supported by Country Arts!

“A densely layered, evocative and richly imagined work…How rewarding to rummage through Matt Cameron’s mind. What a find. A true original.”
Once upon a time, a little girl called Ruby Moon set off to visit her grandma at the end of the cul-de-sac. She never arrived.
Ruby’s parents spiral into suspicion as they search for answers to the haunting mystery. Their suburban street becomes a tangled web of intrigue. Behind bland front doors, eccentric neighbors are hiding crucial fragments of ruby’s story. Once their secrets start to unravel, Flaming Tree Grove will never be the same again.
Writer Matt Cameron brings magic to the stage with this fractured fairytale from the dark soul of suburbia. Always Working Artists presents this play for Western Australian audiences for the first time in a witty and theatrical
production.
