Synopsis: | Set at the beginning of the twentieth century in Melbourne at the time of Federation: a family story played out against the background of the call for independence from Britain, the growing feminist (suffragette) movement, and the effects of late Victorian capitalism. The driving idea of the play is a scam carried out by Maud, an ex-prison inmate, on Gloria, a wealthy heiress. The unexpected consequences of this scam provide both the humour and the dramatic tension of the play. | |||||
