TOY SYMPHONY

TOY SYMPHONY

Queensland Theatre Company’s Artistic Director and award-winning author of the perennial favourite Away, makes a long-awaited return to writing with Toy Symphony. Michael Gow gives us a rare insight into the heart and mind of the artist and the inescapable power of memory.

Gifted playwright Roland Henning is trying to convince his sceptical therapist Nina that he doesn’t have writer’s block, it’s just that, well, he can’t write anymore… With Nina’s help, Roland reluctantly recalls his primary school days in the outer Sydney suburb of Como and that extraordinary day which shattered his boyhood and plunged him headlong into the dizzy circus of art and life.

But as personal tragedy suddenly threatens to permanently derail Roland, will he grasp a chance for salvation or slip back into old habits?

Gow’s long-awaited new play, and the toast of Sydney’s theatre scene in 2007, is a compelling journey of personal self-discovery and regeneration.

“Triumphantly successful” - The Australian

“Rich and exhilarating” - The Sydney Morning Herald
