CONCESSIONS FOR PATRONS WITH DISABILITIES An Australian production opened at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne, in July 2019. [51] The Australian Company was planned to tour China, but this was cancelled due to SARS-CoV-2. [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] Although the initial Melbourne Fall Season was cut short due to SARS-CoV-2, a short encore in Melbourne in February 2021 occurred before briefly stopping at Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane before transferring to Capitol Theatre in Sydney. [57] The Melbourne production became the Comedy Theatre's most successful musical in its history. [58] The production has since toured to the Gold Coast, Perth, and Canberra, [59] with return seasons in Melbourne and Sydney. Here's the facts - German U-boats (submarines) did in fact patrol along Canada's East Coast - and sunk over 44 Canadian ships, including the SS Caribou, a passenger ferry. But, here's the absolutely fascinating bit - Come From Away is based on a local legend that is very possibly quite true. In 1942, a small group of German soldiers attended a local Christmas dance in East Jeddore. And it is this incident that is the inspiration for Graham's latest novel. What a great premise!

It is about Rudi doing his best to get away and show that he is worth more. It is about the war taking a toll on people at home and those fighting. And again the dark side of war and how men suffer. Q: The premise of Come from Away centres on a local legend that U-boat sailors attended a Christmas dance in 1942. Where did you first hear this story, and what did you think? If you were in Grace’s place, would you have turned Rudi in to the police? Would you have hidden him? Or would you have done something else entirely? Q: What was the most surprising thing you discovered during your research? Did anything seem more fiction than fact?
