THE DROWNING BRIDE

by Michael Futcher & Helen Howard

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.

'In Futcher and Howard's compassionate script, ordinary people endure extraordinary fates to become moral touchstones, testing Australian justice and public values. It is a vital, angry and dynamic play.' Veronica Kelly, The Australian
