By Ross Mueller
As Australia awakes to discover the tragic death of a high ranking soldier in a foreign war zone, his military family in the suburbs of Sydney is not only coming to terms with the death of a brother and an uncle but with public and government expectations of how to bury a nation’s ‘best mate’. But what actually happened to Brigadier Martin Connors at the end of a long and distinguished career? His nephew Tom, also a soldier, returns home with news that will shake this family to its core and leave its matriarch Elizabeth to pick up the pieces. Against a backdrop of the War on Terror and heightened homeland security, playwright Ross Mueller (The Ghost Writer) has fashioned both a heartbreaking family drama and an urgent moral examination from events as contemporary as last night’s news bulletin. Former Artistic Directorate member Aidan Fennessy (Ruby Moon, Oleanna) directs an outstanding cast in this world premiere production of a HotHouse Theatre commission. The Glory is the winner of the 2006 Wal Cherry Play of the Year.
“The selection of Ross Mueller as the winner of this year’s Wal Cherry Award is well-deserved recognition of one of Victoria’s most exciting writers.” - The Arts Centre, Victoria
