Gloria Author: Benedict Andrews

ISBN: 9781925005684 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 80 Published: 1 September 2016 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 21.0 x 13.5 Description:

Gloria is on the brink of making her triumphant return to the stage. A celebrated actor-a star, a celebrity-she's played every iconic role in the canon of theatrical greats: Nina, Hedda, Hamlet, Clytemnestra. She's burnt into our eyes, our hearts our imaginations.

Through Gloria, we see a portrait of Australia afraid to acknowledge the widening gaps in our society.
