Vince Wren is someone who has much love for his country’s folklore and history. His interest in Australian History began in school and deepened as he realised how little Australian knew about their own heritage. He studied Australian History at the University of New England where he gained a Graduate Diploma in Education majoring in History and Drama.

Vince’s objective is to motivate his audience so they may want to research and discover further facts and knowledge about our heritage.

He does not glorify bushrangers - they were criminals - but they were part of our history. Knowledge of the American Wild West is wide spread however our own fascinating and colourful past occurred many years before the much-published Americans West.
 
The Bushranger Story is a school excursion performance like no other.  It tells the story of how Bushrangers shaped the Australian Culture.

With the aid of authentic colonial dress, guns and other props, Vince relates humorous and factual stories from the convict years through to the death of Ned Kelly. He explains the colourful dress of the Wild Colonial Bushrangers - and why the dressed so flamboyantly. The explanation of the loading of the cumbersome firearms used by the bushrangers, leads to startling fact unknown to many Australians. Where primary school children are involved songs are used to enhance the show. A question time at the end of the show allows further involvement of the children particularly if they have been studying any areas of Australian History in their curriculum.

The show can be used before, during or after a unit on Australian History but it is not essential as children with little knowledge of our history will find the show entertaining and informative.

All performances can be arranged for both daytime and night time appearances and for any age group.

The show has a minimum attendance of 60 people.
