A
fresh, contemporary interpretation of Buzo’s elegant play
about New South Wales’ visionary governor Lachlan Macquarie
is the major performing arts event for the bicentenary of
his governorship in 2010. Of his award-winning play, Alex
Buzo wrote:
“My aim was to illuminate, not to lecture...to bring into
sharp relief the story of our reforming governor, and to
help him live for another generation.”
