Richard Davey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Innes Davey is an actor, director and writer. He is the founder of the Round Earth Company and advocate for the understanding of the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station on Sarah Island on the West Coast of Tasmania.
Over ten years of the Round Earth Theatre Company at Strahan, and work on Sarah Island as a guide, Davey's work has had significance in helping tourists understand the penal station and its context, where previously there had been scattered and not very accessible research.
His book The Sarah Island Conspiracies - Being an account of twelve voyages to Macquarie Harbour and Sarah Island, complements the work of Richard Flanagan's Gould's Book of Fish.
Flanagan's realm in 'Gould's Boook...' is in the fantastic, juxtaposed with that of Davey's historical work - provides significant depth and understanding of the convict legacy of the West Coast.
