The Glitter Sweeper At The Ned Kelly Disco

The musical began with Ned Kelly in golden armour declaiming passages from the Jerilderie Letter, above and behind the audience.

Then he is marched by warders along the gallery to the gallows where the actor cannot be seen by the audience and the dummy is ready on the trap. At the time below the gallows at the end of the stage were glass cabinets filled with Kelly arms and armour.

When the drop opened with a crash, Ned Kelly in golden armour at the of a rope, swings through a shower of glitter, tastefully lit by mirror balls, disco lights and music.

Ned Kelly Superstar.
