When There Was Forever

A monster. A boy and a girl in love. The sea. And the story he told.

‘When There Was Forever,’ is a folk-tronica epic, a live music set meets storytelling experience.

Performed live with guitar, vocals, and rich soundscapes, this tale of love and loss crashes through narrative, dialogue and song in an epic quest for glory! A story of ships and monsters and fame!

With original folk-music performed by award-winning creative Jackson Peele (Neylon & Peele, ‘The Beep Test’), this spellbinding one-man-myth assembles an A-class team of local professionals in its South Australian Premiere. Don't miss this immersive, spellbinding journey and ruthless examination of the myths we tell and are told today.
