 He went looking for love and found a world stood still…
Douglas travels from Australia to Europe to re-kindle a brief affair with Barbara, a European actress. When the two are reunited, Douglas quickly discovers his misjudgement. In the process of unearthing Barbara’s true feelings he makes some important discoveries on the reality of European history: alluring facades conceal troubled hearts.
Twenty years since its first production, Michael Gow’s Europe is a modern Australian classic. This timely restaging is presented by Melbourne’s promising new independent company, Cut Lunch Productions, and boasts a stellar cast including acclaimed actress Caroline Brazier (MTC’s Two Brothers, Ray’s Tempest and 2007’s Enlightenment), and the talented Travis Cotton.
