What drives an artist to create? What forces come into play to propel artistic and personal journeys?
With Toy Symphony, the highly regarded playwright and Artistic Director of Queensland Theatre Company Michael Gow presents a rare insight into the heart and mind of the artist and the inescapable power of memory.
Gifted playwright Roland Henning is trying to convince his sceptical therapist Nina that he doesn't have writer's block - it's just that, well, he can't write anymore. With Nina's help, Roland reluctantly recalls his primary school days in the outer Sydney suburb of Como and that extraordinary day which shattered his boyhood and plunged him headlong into the dizzy circus of art and life.
Gow's long-awaited new play - and the toast of Sydney's theatre scene in 2007 (2008 Helpmann Award for Best New Australian Work and 2007 Sydney Theatre Award for Best New Work) - is a compelling journey of personal self-discovery and regeneration.
