The Cooma Little Theatre has been asked by the owners of the Squatters Arms at Bunyan to provide a director and actors for a one act play about a piece of Cooma’s history.

Apparently in the 1880’s two bushrangers known as “The Clarke Brothers” held up Cooma Races and then moved on to the Squatters Arms and forced the patrons at that Hostellery to have lunch with them and then robbed them before making off through the Rose Valley Road with the police in chase.

The idea is to turn this into a one act play, perform it at our June production of One Act Plays then produce it at The Squatters Arms with paid Actors for as long as they feel it is feasible.

Anyone fancying directing this venture or wanting further info or a copy of the play’s précis ring Jim Brindle.
