A Different Hat

A Different Hat performed by Wendy Grose and Len Vorster is on at the Globe Theatre in Winchelsea at 2pm. The show celebrates the life of Marjorie Lawrence who won the Sun Aria in Geelong in 1928 and conquered the operatic world in Europe and America, becoming the highest paid Prima Donna at the Paris Opera. The audience will experience an emotional rollercoaster, reduced to tears and then to roars of laughter as her stoicism and enthusiasm for life itself and singing are shown in a humorous manner.
