A shimmering autobiographical theatre work tracing the lives of two Australian music icons.
Join Deborah Conway and husband Willy Zygier in a finely crafted theatrical experience based on Conway’s highly anticipated memoir Book of Life, which is set to be released by Allen and Unwin on Tuesday 3 October.
Songs from the Book of Life, written by both Conway and Zygier, explores their four-decade-long musical careers, told through eight scenes and eight songs.
Conway and Zygier play themselves as they reflect on their own story of youth, rebellion, falling in love, aging, money and music. Told with unflinching honesty, humour and revelation, learn the gritty details of an iconic woman who rocked the Australian music industry.
Featuring original music and theatrical storytelling, this unmissable tour-de-force is directed by Michael Kantor and choreographed by Stephanie Lake, with set design by Chloe Greaves and video design by Nick Roux.
