'The Adventures of Miss Wiseman' tells the untold story of Frances 'Fanny' Jane Wiseman, a pioneering Australian actress. Born in England in 1846, Fanny Wiseman's journey began with a fire that destroyed her family home and propelled them across the seas to Australia. What followed was an adventurous life and a dazzling career on stage. Her first theatrical performance was at the age of eight in Melbourne, Victoria, and her last performance was in 1925 when she was 79. She toured through the goldfields of colonial Australia, and the glittering theatres of India, New Zealand and England. She played an influential role in developing Australia's theatre industry. Throughout her personal and professional life, she challenged the socio-cultural context of the 19th and 20th centuries and was a role model for female equality. Fanny Wiseman fell in love, raised a large family and navigated personal tragedies. She was fiercely independent and devoted to her profession and her family.
