About Driftwood The Musical at Eternity Playhouse
Umbrella Foundation is delighted to present Driftwood – The Musical. This epic story is based on the memoir by Eva de Jong-Duldig and an original stage play by Jane Bodie. Driftwood features original music and lyrics by Anthony Barnhill with additional lyrics by Jane Bodie and Tania de Jong AM. Acclaimed Director Gary Abrahams brings a stellar cast to the stage.
Driftwood – The Musical tells the inspirational story of the renowned Austrian/Australian sculptor Karl Duldig and his artist/inventor wife, Slawa Horowitz-Duldig.
We follow their lives in pre-war Vienna, Slawa’s ingenious invention of the foldable umbrella, and an incredible chain of events: miraculously escaping the Holocaust and rebuilding their careers as artists in Melbourne.
A magical story of art and creativity, survival and perseverance, family, freedom and love.
