Mary Shelley

The Girls in Grey
Carolyn Bock, Helen Hopkins

Set in World War I, The Girls in Grey tells the story of three Australian Army nurses. The play shows how history can be dynamically interpreted through drama. It challenges the audience to rethink female identity in WWI and provides a female perspective on the ANZAC legend.

Frank has been married for forty five years. Three years ago he fell in love.

These stories of family, friendship, land, myth, life and death are contextualised within the social and political framework of their times. They resonate universally, yet at the same time capture unique moments in Australian history and experience.
