Gavin Roach presents the Australian premiere of Heather by Thomas Eccleshare
If you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, does it make any more sense to judge a book by its author?
A reclusive children’s writer becomes wildly successful. Her books are treasured across the country. Her public are desperate to know just who is behind the stories. But as a troubling narrative begins to unfold and her constantly irrational excuses, readers begin to ask, what is she so afraid of?
Brilliantly imaginative and theatrically original, Heather by Thomas Eccleshare is a short, sharp play about language, prejudice and the power of stories.
Praise for Heather by Thomas Eccleshare:
“What Heather does very well is to go beyond simply offering ‘a twist’, but to challenge audience assumptions about who gets to tell stories.” – Time Out
