Christine Middleton is a musician, storyteller, performer and playwright. Her musical theatre productions document real historical journeys of ordinary people living lives of adventure, joy, heartache and endeavour. Christine draws her inspiration from the places she has lived and the people she has met.

In the golden days of radio before television, radio plays were a big feature of Sunday night listening.

The Lux Radio Theatre was one of them. The actors wore evening clothes and frequently played several roles within the same show. The Lux shows have been recreated for stage performance by groups of actors who have appeared in many Lux Radio Theatre shows.

Meet Australian Outback 1940's restaurant owner Sheila and journey through her life with stories, song, bush verse and mouth watering recipes.

Sheila's dessert trolley, laden with pavlova, creme caramel, mocha chocolate roll, mulberry pie, bowls of chocolate mousse and long stemmed glasses filled with strawberry romanoff, was famous throughout the region.
