"Many of us have done the big road trip, maybe to move house from Perth to Broome; explore the coast from Brisbane to Cairns or just to escape the city for the bush. One of the works premiering at the Darwin Festival today takes us on a road trip through the heart of Australia. It's a one-woman show called Highway of Lost Hearts, written and performed by Northern Territory writer Mary Anne Butler."
"Mary Anne Butler gives her own script a performance that works its way gently into an absorbing piece about loss and change, the importance of country and the power of a journey."
"Though the title of the play, “Highway of Lost Hearts,” is daunting, Butler and her director, Lee Lewis, ensure that only seconds pass before you recognise that redemption is only a matter of time for someone who delights in the companionship of her ageing canine friend with such tenderness that we catch a glimpse of her heart even before she does."
