The Seymour-Saints Musical: The Sentimental Bloke

This year's musical was writen by C J D ennis (Clarence James Dennis) and has evolved from his original poem 'The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke' , first published in 1915. It tells the story of Bill, a Melbournian larrikin, who promises to abandon his lifestyle of drinking and gambling when he meets and falls in love with Doreen Lyell, who works in the local pickle factory. We follow Bill's transformation. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here. For further information, please contact Michael Storer on 8303 9000.
