Louisa’s Walk – Live History Hobart

Louisa's Walk - Live History Hobart

A unique piece of “Walking Theatre”, Louisa’s Walk is for those who are looking for something different. A must – do for those interested in History and Drama or who simply enjoy being entertained by a couple of wonderful actor/storytellers.

Louisa’s Walk blends history with fact in a highly entertaining and memorable way. It tells the story of a convict woman, Louisa Regan, who is convicted in London for stealing a loaf of bread. She is then transported to Van Diemens Land to serve a seven-year sentence in Hobart’s infamous Female Factory or women’s prison.

Meeting outside the historic Cascade Brewery in South Hobart, the audience witness the crime and sentencing of Louisa. They walk through the beautiful Cascade Gardens until they board the transportation ship The Rajah. The journey ends in Degraves Street where the grim walls of the Female Factory are waiting to receive them. Once inside those walls the, sometimes, lighthearted mood is gone, to be replaced by the harsh reality of the convict women’s story.

Laughter and tears are promised as you become caught up in this fascinating drama.
You will become transported yourselves back into the 19th century as Louisa’s story unfolds. And the ending? That must remain a mystery until you experience Louisa’s Walk for yourselves. One thing is promised, you will not only have been spellbound by a compelling piece of theatre but you will have absorbed the history of the Cascades including the famous Brewery and the Hobart Rivulet in the telling.
