The Beaconsfield gold mine collapse galvanized Australia two years ago, particularly regarding the policy of "self-regulation" applied by Tasmanian authorities to the mine:
A massive rock fall on April 25 [2006] trapped miners Todd Russell and Brant Webb underground for two weeks and resulted in the death of their co-worker, Larry Knight.This new musical continues to galvanize Australians:
A PLAYWRIGHT who has sent up events surrounding the Beaconsfield mine tragedy has changed the play's name following outrage from the family and friends of the man killed in the disaster.
Dan Ilic originally named his play, to debut at the Melbourne Fringe Festival tomorrow night, Beaconsfield: A Musical in A-Flat Minor, but today changed it to Beaconsfield: The Musical.
