Nora : A Doll's House

Wilderness
Kellie Smith

Having both been deeply scarred by their own parents' separations, Joe and Anne never imagined they'd find themselves, years later, in the same position.

But a sudden change in circumstance triggers a chain of events that pushes their best intentions to the limit…

Patrick White's classic 1965 drama The Season at Sarsaparilla is 'a charade of suburbia', a play of shadows, rather than substance.
