'The Australian Performing Arts Collection helps us remember performances of the past. While there is a lot to celebrate, perhaps it’s the most uncomfortable chapters in our cultural history that offer the best insight into who we really are. This is the story of a forgotten song, a lost show, and a ruined theatrical empire that built its success on the exploitation of children.'
