'I came to Sydney from Melbourne in 1978 and immediately fell in
love with its history, the sandstone buildings, the gorgeous
harbour, the bridge, the Opera House, its ad hoc streets and its
denizens.' In Sydney, acclaimed playwright and author Louis Nowra -
author of Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo - expands his gaze to
explore the energy, beauty, vulgarity, dynamism and pulsating sense
of selfimportance of his adopted city. This big, bustling portrait
of Sydney is told through profiles of people, high and low, with a
cast of criminals and premiers, ordinary folk, entertainers,
artists, thieves and visionaries. Along with its people, Nowra
surveys the city's architecture and its global identity. And as
Sydney's history unfolds throughout the twentieth century and
beyond, Nowra revels in its neon lighting, music, skyscrapers and
sense of optimism.
