What people are saying about Louisa’s Walk
Louisa’s Walk was the highlight of my recent visit to Hobart. It leaves from just below the Cascade Brewery and is informative, funny, touching and historic and could be recommended with confidence. When in Hobart next, do yourselves a favour and book yourselves on Louisa’s Walk!

Louisa and her partner transport you back to the 1840’s by a lively strolling theatre, which retells the story of a female convict’s life in Van Diemens Land. It’s a novel, informative and imaginative way to pass an afternoon in the city and highly recommended.

I enjoyed your play and will remember it as one of the most informative and enjoyable experiences of my trip to Australia.

You really take us back and make history live!

“Thank you for the insight and very moving experience of reliving history through the eyes of “female convict” Louisa Regan. Your performance made her story, within the bare walls of the Female Factory, come alive. You have enlightened me to the plight of the women who suffered mercilessly during this period of Australian history. These women deserved to be honoured and you are leading the way with Louisa’s Walk!! Thank you.”

What an amazing and enjoyable way to learn some fascinating history! Our children and ourselves thoroughly enjoyed your performance of this true story. It was interesting, moving and certainly made “history real”, I still think about different parts of it still, even though we saw it, or really I should more properly say ‘experienced it’ 4 weeks ago, at the end of our Tassie family holiday. It really was a highlight of our trip.
Simply unique! This is a thought provoking and insightful experience. An opportunity to walk in Louisa’s shoes and see the harsh existence of a convict’s life in Hobart. We are so glad we took the time to go on Louisa’s Walk!
History is about people & their stories. “Louisa’s Walk” brings history to life & makes the story more believable as it is “Louisa’s” life. This performance made visiting the Female Factory more enjoyable and made the hardships faced by the female convicts more realistic and believable. This is the “best” way to see the Female Factory and a must for people visiting Hobart.
What a great experience! The performance was thought provoking and gave a great insight into the hardships that prevailed for the convict women. It was the best thing we experienced on our trip to Hobart. A very big thank-you!
I took my class ont he Primary School version of Louisa’s Walk and they loved it. By being able to participate the children felt truely part of Louisa’s experience.
“Louisa’s Walk was a really interesting play, where we had to use our imaginations, it went through the Female Factory. There was a man who played 5 characters and a lady who played the convict Louisa. It was a wonderful, true play.” Hannah aged 9.
