| Description |
She’s the author of 25 plays, the recipient of every Australian literary award, (sometimes severally) and yet if you know her name it’s as likely to be from the articles decrying its omission from our major companies’ programs, as from her work itself. That’s because Patricia Cornelius makes no bones about dealing head-on with issues unsuitable for polite conversation. Street kids, abusive foster homes, Cruise Ship rape, Guantanamo Bay, confronting dementia; the subjects tossed voyeuristically around by the media for a few weeks, then into the too-hard basket are the stuff of her visceral theatre, which inhabits a space somewhere between documentary and Greek tragedy. |
