Description |
"The Choir" is about a group of adolescent orphaned boys in a female-dominated institution. Physically mutilated and emotionally crippled, the boys yearn for love, and for a truth which is denied them. They compete for the attention of the only whole member of the choir, Andrew (Jim Holt), who becomes as authoritarian and paternalistic as his superiors, until the castrated boys take revenge.
The play was first workshopped at the Australian National Playwrights Conference in 1980. |
