'A 1970s suburban Australian street ...

In a house not so large as to impress thieves, but large enough to impress those who officially aren't, Olive and her husband Mick have not spoken for a decade. Olive went silent on him when he let her budgie die, and they are now locked in desperate communication through written notes. A stray cockatoo softens the decade long stand-off between husband and wife, but as more cockatoos descend, a peaceful world is tragically shattered.' (Victorian Opera website)

'In this brave autobiographical monologue, Noel Tovey recounts his traumatic childhood and yet his indomitable will to survive. He tells his story with candour, dignity and flashes of humour in the ultimate tale of triumph and transformation.' (Source: Ilbijerri Theatre Company website)
1 form The Anatomy Lesson of Doctor Ruysch Hilary Bell , Sarah de Jong (composer), 1999 single work radio play
1 y separately published work icon The Lights of Jericho Haya Husseini , Sarah de Jong (composer), Sydney : Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1994 Z1312565 1994 single work drama This is a play about Palestinians, about their subjection to tragedy in the past and about their struggle today. It draws together the details of everyday life and the epic horrors of war and death, the personal and the universal. It does not lay blame or spotlight victims and the voices are not harsh or strange but have the familiar warm and plangent tones of our parents, our children, our siblings, our friends. (Libraries Australia).
