Melbourne French Theatre 

Another Francophone highlight this August is a new production by Melbourne French Theatre of the highly acclaimed play Il était un petit navire (SOS Save Our Savings). Founded in 1977, Melbourne French Theatre (MFT) is Australia’s longest running French-language theatre company, and it has long played a key role in promoting French language and culture in schools as well as the wider Melbourne community. 

Our students of Years 9 and 10 French will be attending a performance of Il était un petit navire on Friday 14 August.  

The production offers audiences the chance to experience live theatre entirely in French with English “surtitles”.  

Tickets for the current show are on sale to the public via the MFT website:
