Driftwood The Musical  tells the inspirational story of renowned Austrian/ Australian sculptor Karl Duldig and his artist-inventor wife, Slawa Horowitz-Duldig. The play follows their lives in pre-war Vienna, the family’s narrow escape from Nazi Austria, Slawa’s ingenious invention of the foldable umbrella; and the incredible chain of events that took place after escaping the Holocaust and rebuilding their careers as artists in Melbourne. Friday Drive’s Te Rina Taite spoke to Tania De Jong AM about the play and her family’s story.

The play will be on at three locations from the 24th:

Belrose Glen Street Theatre, 24th-28th May

Parramatta Riverside Theatre: 31st May – 4th June

Darlinghurst, Eternity Playhouse: 7th June – 18th June
