​by peta tait

What is so impressive about the text by Peta Tait, is the way in which these women exist solely as women of their time. The script allows us to engage with their achievements in that context. With the beats and silences held, without contrivance, by Leiser-Moore, the audience can fully appreciate the power of live music in performance.
(Arts Hub)​  

​This play by Peta Tait was first presented at Heide Museum, Melbourne before touring to the Centre for Photography in Perth. In December 2018 it was presented at the Seymour Centre part of a program celebrating the 70th year since the Human Rights Declaration.
