The figure of George Coppin looms large in the history and growth of the theatre in early colonial Australia and is well documented. Less well known is the story of many who served with him as actors, musicians, costumers, and a host of others whose love for live theatre made a huge contribution to society and to the development of what became distinctly Australian in our culture.
