About this event
Fame, Fortune & Lies: The Life and Music of Eileen Joyce is a window into the
life of Eileen Joyce; an Australian concert pianist, recording artist,
radio performer, fashionista and film star during and after the Second
World War and arguably one of Australia's finest musical exports to the
world. In her original, one-woman show, Julia Hastings charmingly portrays
Eileen through a series of vignette scenes juxtaposed with Hastings'
virtuosic playing of the music which was inextricably linked to Eileen and
formed the soundtrack to her life. Behind the glamour of international
success, Hastings' poignant interpretation of Eileen reveals the tragedy
and the personal demons which plagued her both on and off stage. At times
funny, and at times heartbreaking...
