Christine Dunstan Productions Presents TIMES OF MY LIFE, By Toni Lamond & Tony Sheldon. Produced by Christine Dunstan Productions. Commencing at 2:00pm and 8:00pm. Times of My Life, a new play by Tony Sheldon and Toni Lamond, is more than a history of Australian show biz - it is a candid yet humorous autobiographical story with dialogue that is honest and inspirational. Sheldon and Lamond have drafted observations, anecdotes and rich archival footage into a play populated with scenes and people from an extraordinary life. Through the eyes of the inimitable and legendary Toni Lamond we witness an industry growing from its humble roots during the heady days of Australian television. Born into vaudeville, pioneering Australian stars in music theatre and making her mark in cabaret is only a part of this remarkable story. As Toni Lamond turns back time she reveals a gifted, funny and vulnerable artist. This is courageous theatre with a powerful and uplifting story. It is an opportunity to celebrate 80 years of Australian entertainment in which we meet the main players and share the perspective from one who was there!
