Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
Introduces us to the last felon to be executed on Australian soil. Dickins portrays the man behind the legend as lovable, cheeky, wretched, despicable and, above all, courageous. After nearly thirty years, his guilt in the shooting of a prison warder remains in doubt. A victim of his times, himself and political pressure, Ryan never stood a chance. He is a man who has never been forgotten by those who met him.
The human and political story of the last man to be executed in Australia, Remember Ronald Ryan won the 1995 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award.
