Drought and other plays by Millicent Armstrong

Writer and celebrated WW1 war nurse Millicient Armstrong lived in Goulburn and farmed land near Gunning.
Her brilliant and award winning plays, in the Australian Gothic tradition — with dark melodrama and domestic comedy, have been almost forgotten.  Until now.

A brilliant cast of actors will recreate four of her plays in her old home town, in the new Goulburn Performing Arts Centre.  With themes including the struggles of life on the land, sexual violence, and with strong female characters and sparkling dialogue, the plays have a remarkably contemporary resonance.  Join us to celebrate and revive the work of this enigmatic local hero as part of the inaugural Festival of Regional Theatre

Festival of Regional Theatre is proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program in association with Goulburn Mulwaree Council. Produced by Music Theatre Projects Ltd
