The Harp in the South Trilogy follows the trials and tribulations of
the Darcy family over thirty years, from country New South Wales in
the 1920s to the inner-city slums of Surry Hills in the 1950s. The
beating heart of this exuberant play is its carousel of characters.
From hard-boozing Hugh Darcy and his long-suffering 'Missus' Margaret,
to their children, sensitive and romantic Roie, smart and sassy
Dolour, and poor little Thady who ran out onto the overcrowded road
and has been trying to find his way home ever since. Along the way
there's the Chinese greengrocer Lick Jimmy, who tempts Dolour with his
'poor man's oranges', no-nonsense brothel madam Delie Stock, who
tempts everyone with her girls, and handsome young Charlie Rothe, who
tempts Roie with the promise of a better life. Kate Mulvany brings her
trademark humour and tenderness to bear on Ruth Park's much-loved
novels in this epic adaptation. Join the Darcy family as they journey
through laughter and tragedy, booze and blood, poverty and cruelty,
but most of all love.
