Synopsis

Sensible lives thrown into chaos by questions and imagination.

With her world unexpectedly upturned academic and writer Gillian Galbraith retreats into the history she has been researching, and unwittingly releases vivid lives and voices from the past. But her buddy Carol is having none of that – there’s way too much important stuff in the here and now…

As with her previous play ‘Wild Dogs’, Haughton delves into the lives of real people living in Gippsland. The play explores the connections we struggle with to find our place, and untangles the stories of the past on which we have built our present. It’s a compelling and compassionate weaving of contemporary and historical women’s stories, both myth and fact.

The result is a magical journey for everyone who loves a good story or two.
