Wild Surmise
By Jane Montgomery Griffiths
09 November 2012 – 02 December 2012 Beckett Theatre
Based on the verse novel by Dorothy Porter
Malthouse Theatre,
New Adaptation Theatre
A duet between two passionate yet dislocated voices, Wild Surmise is a moving elegy to a marriage that has faded into oblivion. Astronomer Alex searches for life on a distant moon but finds herself consumed by a very human affair. Her literary-loving husband Daniel faces his mortality with sardonic relish, but begs the poets for answers they cannot provide. And while their attentions lie elsewhere, a marriage melts into memory.
