WA Story #3: Hope, Hardship and a Fortunate Life

A remarkable stage adaptation telling the story of Aussie icon Albert Facey, narrated by his grandchild, alongside some of the most beautiful music ever written.

The story of Albert Facey, self-described 'ordinary boy from Wickepin' is one of the most-read Australian stories of all time. Witness his story narrated by his very own grandchild, accompanied by high-value stage production and grand orchestral pieces.

This event is one of three from Perth Symphony Orchestra's unique chamber music series, WA Stories, connecting people with the stories of WA Icons.

Facey lived during the era of horse-drawn transport, through two world wars, surviving debilitating grief and injury, alongside one of the most moving love stories. This narrative has touched countless hearts and illuminated the profound beauty within a life well-lived.
