THEY SAW A THYLACINE
BY JUSTINE CAMPBELL AND SARAH HAMILTON

On an unseasonably cold September day in 1936, the
world’s last known Tasmanian Tiger died in captivity at Hobart’s Beaumaris Zoo.

ARTISTIC COLLABORATOR
Mathew Lutton
Out of the darkness, Sarah Hamilton and Justine Campbell
conjure the ghost of one of our lost beauties – the thylacine.
With the suspense and warmth of a campfire story, these
feisty, funny women weave a lyrical tale of discovery and
destruction.
SET & LIGHTING DESIGN
Matt Adey
For this thylacine tracker and zoo keeper’s daughter, it’s a
quest to protect a threatened creature…and themselves.
SOUND DESIGN
Jethro Woodward
Gutsy and rebellious, this beautiful reimagining of Australia’s
lost history shines a light on extinction and our own survival.
