Introduction to Radiance l Classic Australian theatre
Louis Nowra reads his introduction to his play, Radiance. It\u2019s called Women on the Mud Flats and it charts the journey of the work from a single image, into the shape of a story, to the premiere production and beyond. But this isn\u2019t just a recount of the tale. If you're a believer in fate, you will see that Radiance is a story that was destined to be told.--Louis Nowra\xa0is one of Australia\u2019s most successful writers. He has penned novels, crafted film scripts, authored two memoirs and worked as a librettist, but he is perhaps best known for his plays. Since the early 1970s he has created over 30 stories for the stage; several of them have earned a rightful place in the Australian dramatic canon, and our hearts. They include\xa0Summer of the Aliens,\xa0Cosi,\xa0The Golden Age,\xa0The Temple and\xa0Albert Names Edward.
