Legacies is an original stage play by Rachel Pengilly, with original music composition by Shannon Parnell. Based on the true story of the Arran Stowaways, Legacies follows the journey of six young boys stowed away on a ship from Scotland to Canada. It’s a classic adventure tale – with a deadly, icy twist. 

This development assisted in the final creative stages of Legacies. It brought together professional actors, directors, and writers to critically analyse Legacies as a production and question where it needed further developing… and what needed to be cut. The development culminated in a private showing to industry professionals and key stakeholders, including representatives from theatres around Canberra and surrounds. This project was proudly supported by Belco Arts.
