What Was That?

The theatrical production is performed at night in the Werribee Park Mansion. Based on the true stories of the Chirnside family (19th-century wealthy squatters), this play combines history, scary elements and comedy. Two actors as 'Maggie' the head maid and 'Mr Duncan' the head butler will guide you through the mansion and the story unfolds as you move from room to room. This is an exciting event full of surprises and ends with a glass of sparkling wine or soft drink. Click here for the digital show program
