# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Catalpa - Flight to Freedom
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+08:00)
- **Event Description**: THEATRE 180 in collaboration with WA Museum tells the incredible true story of the greatest prison break in Australian history: the escape of six Irish Fenians from the fortress of Fremantle Prison in 1876 on board the American whaleship CATALPA.
Known as a living tomb, Fremantle Prison was a place of hellish imprisonment and far from the green fields of Ireland and the land of birth for these freedom fighters seeking independence from centuries of crippling British rule.
Two years in the planning, involving espionage, secret letters, undercover operatives who travelled from Boston to Western Australia to enact the plan, a love affair, a rescue ship masquerading as a whaleboat, a desperate boat chase and the threat of war against the might of America - this story has all the hallmarks of a major Hollywood movie and all the heart of an Irish ballad.
With its sprawling storyline, cast of thousands and epic landscapes from the high seas to 19th century Western Australia, CATALPA: Flight to Freedom is the latest in THEATRE 180’s successful and immersive CinePlay genre.
The daring and audacious CATALPA rescue is a dramatic and gripping tale of hope and adventure not to be missed!
