Description Harry Crawford and his wife Annie seem ordinary enough; together they lead quiet, unexceptional lives in the suburbs of 1920s Sydney, working and raising a child.
But when a strange girl arrives at the door, it sets in train a series of events that will result in an astounding revelation – and, ultimately, sow the seeds of bloody murder.
Award-winning playwright Lachlan Philpott probes ideas of gender identity, perversion and complicity with this new work, based on the extraordinary true story of the ‘Man-Woman’ murder that shocked turn-of-the-century Sydney.
