Hydra

A wild, passionate, and ultimately tragic love story unfolds on the Greek island of Hydra.

Sue Smith's Hydra reimagines the lives of Australia's famous literary couple, Charmian Clift and George Johnston, during their time on the idyllic island in the 1950s. Weaving in text from Clift and Johnston's own writing, this play explores their creative ambitions and personal struggles. The play illuminates the complexities of their marriage, the challenges of balancing artistic pursuits with family life, and the impact of their choices on future generations.

Hydra is a compelling exploration of love, ambition, and the search for identity, set against the backdrop of a bohemian paradise. Perfect for those interested in Australian literature, biography, and the lives of remarkable artists.
