Episode Synopsis
Darcy Niland's Australian classic The Shiralee is a story of family breakdown, and hard-boiled masculinity and love on the margins of 1950s Australia. The bestselling book has been adapted for the screen twice. The 1957 film starring Peter Finch and the 1987 mini-series featuring Bryan Brown have become iconic renditions of Australian bush culture. Now, playwright Kate Mulvany has adapted the book for the stage, drawing on her own relationship with her father to create a rich and timeless tale.
