Written by award winning Cairns playwright Angela Murphy of Veranda Theatre, the show could be set in any CWA hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI travelled over 2200km, visited 22 CWA halls across North Queensland and interviewed over 70 women,\u201d said Ms Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their stories have been woven together to create a funny and insightful piece of theatre that will appeal to anyone who cares about their community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an eye-opening revelation into what the women in the CWA do. It will surprise and amaze you,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe show is heartfelt, honest and at times hilarious. It\u2019s the QCWA in their centennial year and it\u2019s coming to a hall near you!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than Tea and Scones<\/em> is directed by Rachel Terry with actors Liz Christensen, Roz Pappalardo, Sarah Speller and Natalie Taylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
