Summary

This haunting play was inspired by the true story of a group of people, ‘ghosts from the netherworld of an Australian childhood’, who were discovered in the wilds of Tasmania in 1939. Lost in time and steeped in its own history and traditions, this curious community is a complete mystery and a disturbing challenge to its modern counterpart.

The Golden Age is a play of eloquence and epic scale and has been hailed as one of Louis Nowra’s great theatrical achievements.
