AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An original work of music theatre about twins Moyla and Dorothy O'Brien, eccentricity and the desire to do good. They dressed in pink, accessorised in pink, lived in a pink house, and drove a pink car. The twins also made a difference to the lives of thousands of people with disabilities through their long-term commitment to the Sunshine Welfare and Remedial Association (SWARA), an organisation formerly perched on a remnant of land between Albert Park and the Normanby Fiveways.
