Wild, passionate and ultimately tragic: the love story of
Australia's famous literary couple, Charmian Clift and George
Johnston, plays out on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in the
1950s, in this reimagining from award-winning playwright Sue Smith.
Dedicating their lives to writing, the couple were figureheads of
Hydra's bohemian community of artists and dreamers, which included
Leonard Cohen, Sidney and Cynthia Nolan, Alan Moorehead and others.
In Hydra, inspiration runs wild, as the couple pen works which will
go on to be classics, including Charmain Clift's famed Sydney
Morning Herald essays and George Johnson's Miles Franklin-winning
classic My Brother Jack. And yet, their lives were wrought with
jealously, money woes, illness and alcoholism. Told from the
perspective of their eldest son Martin, and weaving in text from
their own writing, Hydra brings to these remarkable artists to
life.
