Upcoming Play Readings
HIS MOTHER'S VOICE
by Justin Fleming
When a Young Chinese pianist becomes embroiled in a diplomatic incident in Canberra, attention focuses on the remarkable but dangerous gift of music which he received from his mother, a courageous woman who dared to defy Mao's Cutural Revolution. Power is pitted against freedom of artistic expression in a debate that is inflamed by the clash of cultural idealism between China and the west. The situation becomes even more problematic because of the Australian family into which he has married.
