Robert Dessaix's novel Night Letters inspired this new stage play which receives its world premiere during the Festival.
An Australian man, recently diagnosed with an incurable disease, leaves his home, his lover, their life and travels through Europe in search of answers to unanswerable questions. When he reaches Venice, every night for 20 nights he writes a letter to his lover in Australia. At the pinnacle of his search, his thoughts suddenly return to Australia...home to his love, home to a piece of pristine bushland on the outskirts of his city, home to another way of living.
This production opened at The Queen's Theatre, Adelaide, as part of the Adelaide Festival of Arts (24 February-27 March).
