After an extensive period of writing for film, Louis Nowra returns
to the stage with "The Boyce Trilogy", an epic saga about the Boyce
family, a family made wealthy through property development. The
trilogy starts with The Woman with Dog's Eyes which introduces us
to the Boyce family as they gather to celebrate the parents' 40th
wedding anniversary. Inspired by events that traumatised Sydneys
Moran family, the play explores the universal themes of family,
love and disappointment. The second part of the trilogy , "The
Marvellous Boy", unwraps the story of this notorious Sydney family.
Malcolm Boyce is dying at a time when his biggest building project
-- and so his whole empire -- is threatened by protesters. He hires
an important criminal, the charismatic Ray Pollard, to threaten his
enemies. Malcolm gets his son, Luke, to liaise with Ray. Luke not
only falls under Ray's spell but also finds himself involved with
his father's mistress. The results are tragic. This story follows
Luke from detachment into an emotional involvement that will be
liberating and then shattering as the consequences of his and his
father's moral duplicity emerge. In the final instalment of the
trilogy, "The Emperor of Sydney" , the three sons fight for control
of the company as their father lays dying in the master bedroom
above the huge Beauchamp mansion living room. The company is near
bankruptcy because of a huge stalled project (their father's
personal vision) and they are facing a criminal investigation into
the father's role in the suspicious death of the project's
outspoken critic.
