Waltzing the Willara An Interview with Lead Actors Lorinda May Merripor and Shaka Cook — Hosted by Michael Lester

Join Michael Lester from Radio Northern Beaches as he chats with Lorinda May Merripor and Shaka Cook, the talented lead actors of the acclaimed Indigenous musical Waltzing the Willara. Set in 1940s Perth dance clubs and revisiting a reunion in the 1980s, this joyous, toe-tapping production explores complex personal relationships, mixed-race love, and the tensions that challenge forgiveness and reconciliation.

Hear about their experiences bringing this powerful story to life at Glen Street Theatre (Belrose, August 28-30), and discover how music, dance, and storytelling come together to confront painful truths and celebrate hope.
