This is a dual biography, the story of Louis Esson, the
distinguished playwright who has been called 'the father of
Australian drama', and his wife Hilda, who did her own pioneering
in the theatre and in public health. The plays they wrote and
performed reflected the drama of their lives: creative angst,
intellectual conflict, untimely death, romantic entanglement,
jealousy and despair. Yet Peter Fitzpatrick's book is more than a
good read. As a critical appraisal of Louis Esson's plays and an
exploration of the relationships the Essons had with well-known
literary and theatrical figures in Australia and overseas, the book
is an exploration of a developing Australian culture and identity.
It is also about the dynamics of a marriage between two brilliant
people, reflecting not only the patterns of gender relationships in
their own time, but universal passions and strategies.
