ELEANOR AND EVE

The night Oscar Wilde came to Katoomba, she was dressed as a man...

Eve Langley, an eccentric bag lady with a machete at her hip, comes to the house of writer Eleanor Dark. What brings her there? What has she lost? What is the story of the house? Why did Eleanor Dark give up writing? Why did Eve Langley change her name to Oscar Wilde? Why were ASIO spying on the Darks? A literary mystery, a fictionalised meeting of two great writers who never met. 'This play takes us to an emotional precipice, but we are not allowed to fall... It is a play of ideas ranging from class to old age, sexual politics and, of course, writing... The writing is brilliant...' Merlinda Bobis, Blues Arts News
