Norfolk Island
This factual yet fun dinner theatre is a great way to learn about Norfolk’s history. The cast of actors will take you on an entertaining journey back in time. Listen to the Commandants’ stories about the notorious Convict Settlements on Norfolk Island and how the convicts were treated by sadists and reformers alike. Listen to a chilling recall of one of the infamous rebellions. Marvel at how the Commandants and their families adapted to life in a Norfolk Island penal colony, recreating a little piece of England in the Pacific. Explore their great challenges, impressive successes and shameful secrets. Our venue has created a special three-course dinner menu of traditional English fare to compliment the theatrical setting. Hearty, wholesome, British tucker - fortunately prepared by free men in a modern kitchen not a poor convict over a wood stove! The Commandants’ Dinner is a night of great entertainment, delectable food and loads of fun. Make it a “must” for your itinerary!!

Our last activity on Norfolk Island was the Commandant's Dinner and show and we certainly saved the best for last. We had no idea how incredibly funny the 3 Commandants and the hostess would be. The humour was adult but not over the top and the timing between the three men and hostess was perfect bouncing off each other. It was good to see that they are passionate and still enjoy performing and we still learned a lot about the history too. The only negative was that our main course was cold as we were the 7th of 8th tables to be served by lining up outside. A must see for anyone visiting Norfolk Island.

Food was good. It was very clever how they reinacted the three commanders which not only made you laugh but learnt history. Carol

The history was interesting and well presented by the actors. However the meal was very average and the script was weak and cringe-worthy with lots of bad puns and toilet jokes.
