21 Hearts at the BREC

A moving true WWII story live on stage at BREC Bunbury

Enjoy a relaxing three-day escape to Bunbury, built around a special performance of 21 Hearts: Vivian Bullwinkel and the Nurses of the Vyner Brooke. Presented by Theatre 180 and written by Jenny Davis, this moving true story honours the 65 Australian Army nurses who boarded the Vyner Brooke as they fled the fall of Singapore in February 1942 and survivor Vivian Bullwinkel, who spent the rest of her life making sure their story was remembered. Around the show, enjoy Devonshire tea at Edenvale, the dolphins of Bunbury, local museums and galleries, regional tastings and a farewell high tea at Peel Manor House. This tour offers a gentle mix of theatre, history and warm country hospitality.
