After 32 years of marriage, George and Honor have achieved it all: the
successful marriage, the family, the house, the garden. They're a golden couple
and what's more, they're still desperately in love.
Honor - beautiful, intelligent and a promising writer in her youth - has been
fulfilled by a life spent caring for her family and supporting George while he
carved out a brilliant career in academia. Together the couple have weathered
hard times, their lives becoming inextricably intertwined.
However, Honor is to learn of the appalling fragility of love when George,
enchanted by a stunning young journalist, abandons both his wife and his
marriage.
With extraordinary wit and great compassion, Joanna Murray-Smith questions the
very nature of love: does it inevitably erode over time? Can it
endure the terrible dichotomy between passion
and perseverance?
Wendy Hughes and William Zappa feature as
Honor and George in this revival of a modern Australian classic.
