In this episode of Noel Anderson’s 15 Mins of Fame, we review Melbourne Theatre Company’s West Gate. A 1970s-set drama that balances warm camaraderie, blokey humour and the constant threat of danger beneath the unfinished West Gate Bridge.

With strong ensemble performances and an imposing industrial set, the production captures both the spirit of the workers and the looming tragedy that defined the bridge’s collapse. It is an unmistakably Australian tribute that honours the lives lost.
