Gloucester High School student, Lynelle Hester's monologue performance at the 2022 Taree and District Eisteddfod was so impressive, she was chosen to perform at the culmination of the annual event, the Eisteddfod Grand Concert, on Saturday, June 11.
The Year 12 drama student performed her HSC monologue, titled Dream, an Estonian woman trapped in the belly of a boat while fleeing communist Russia in search of a better life in Australia.
