Mary Lives!
By Frank Hardy
05 June 1992 – 27 June 1992 Merlyn Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
Portrays the life of Mary Hardy, whose career balanced precariously between popularity and notoriety. Always pushing the limits of acceptability and fighting the consequences, Frank Hardy shows us how his sister refused to kowtow to middle-of-the-road managements, provoking radio listeners with her radical views and pioneering bawdy female satire in the early days of television. The play interweaves important public and private moments in Mary Hardy's career with a vast array of characters, humour and music.
This production also toured to the Alexander Theatre in Clayton (30 June - 4 July) and the George Jenkins Theatre in Frankston (9-11 July).
