The story of her conviction, incarceration and release has kept the public
enthralled for almost 15 years. Fictionalised, but featuring pivotal
actual events and verbatim elements, Schapelle, Schapelle captures a story
of absurdity, opportunism, loneliness and redemption - all spun together
with a rollicking down-to-earth musical score. "It's Bali, Bintang and
battlers," says director Abby Gallaway. "The style and flavour of the show
is pure Aussie irreverence. But there was also a human being at the centre
of this, who suffered public infamy at the hands of a wild media circus.
So we had to tell that story too."
