The Silver Stars of Freedom is a play by Australian female playwright Florence Spriggins (1880-1947) that weaves a story around Peter Lalor's escape in the aftermath of the Eureka Stockade. It won first place in a national one-act playwriting competition in 1935. Presented by Overlook Productions, this rehearsed reading gathers some of Ballarat's most experienced and talented actors, providing a glimpse into history through the eyes of unsung female playwright, Florence Spriggins.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
