"Rich and exhilarating" -Sydney Morning Herald
Roland Henning has writer's block. Unlike the creative torment Roland experiences in Michael Gow's earlier play Furious, he is frozen, trapped by an artist's worst fear: the inability to put pen to paper.
Guided by his therapist, Roland moves between past and present, revisiting key memories from his childhood in the Sutherland Shire and confronting the experiences that brought him to this juncture.
Funny, fiercely articulate, and disarmingly honest, Toy Symphony captures the frustrations, absurdities, and quiet triumphs of personal creativity.
This production is being directed by Gow professionally for the first time, exclusively for The Sutherland Pavilion's 50th anniversary.
