Event Description
- Full Description:
- 'Bogga' is a new play by UQ Associate Professor Rob Pensalfini, based on original research by UQ History alumnus Chris Dawson, and directed by Rebecca Murphy.
At turns hilarious and chilling, poignant and explosive, 'Bogga' uses verbatim oral histories to explore the decline and fall of the infamous Bjelke-Petersen regime through the microcosm of Queensland's notorious Boggo Road Gaol in the 1970s and 1980s. It features local music from the period.
