Description Set in the dressing room of a theatre somewhere in Australia between the acts of Don Quixote, LyreBird grandly weaves its way through the petulant Bobby's life, from his exploits in Mount Gambier, South Australia, through the London theatre world of the 60s and 70s when he returns to his native country.
In LyreBird, Coppin bends and twists incidents, cleverly delivering hysterical, historical mayhem from the tightly sprung floor of Balletomania.
LyreBird is a funny, poignant, playful, burlesque and ridiculous tribute to one of the greatest theatrical artists of all time. Fantasy and realit
