| An intimate and moving drama about love, betrayal and the struggle to forgive. In this powerful clash between generations and cultures, a young Brisbane artist tracks down her estranged grandfather in the US, where he fled to escape his troubled past. Is he a wise old widower, a war criminal or a womaniser? The Drowning Bride is a quest for truth, with love and history at stake. A haunting account of prejudice, injustice and brutality, tempered by a celebration of human kindness and indomitable hope. | |||||

| "Hope is an icicle. If it drops from a height, it can pierce a hole right through you." Londoner Edith Middleton arrives in Sydney in the grip of the Depression and watches her last penny roll down the drain of that great wishing well, Australia. As her life pitches into abject poverty, she bears an illegitimate child on a sweatshop floor, a gifted boy who drags his reluctant mother through the hole in his heart to discover love that is at once fragile and cruel.The Wishing Well is a feisty, powerful and uplifting story of resilience and love, told seductively with a wealth of actor-power, passion, vivacity and warmth. | |||||
