Love Suicides

$23.99

Love Suicides is John Romeril’s homage to the eighteenth century Japanese master playwright, Chikamatsu Monzaemon. In a daring blend of cultures the play plots the destiny of two lovers—one from Osaka, the other from Perth.

The result is an epic story of our times: audacious in its conception, breathtaking in its vision, passionate in its realisation. It is an important play from a highly original and provocative playwright. {{PlayboxLogo}}

AUDIO: INTERVIEW WITH PLAYWRIGHT JOHN ROMERIL

MARGARET THROSBY, ABC CLASSIC FM, 9 OCTOBER 2013

Long before post traumatic stress disorder was a recognised condition, John Romeril's play "The Floating World" featured a main character clearly suffering from the condition - a man whose experiences as a PoW in World War II cause him to unravel whilst travelling on a cruise from Australia to Japan.
