LADIES IN BLACK

by Carolyn Burns

Ladies in Black is a coming of age story of a young intelligent bookworm embarking on a summer job between completing her Leaving Certificate and hopefully embarking on a Literature degree at Sydney University.

Over a summer that changes her life, she befriends the colourful characters of the women's clothing department. Each is on the precipice of change - facing independence, working for a living and what it means to be a woman.

The Age called it "a unicorn of the stage: a full-blown, home grown musical that actually works" and "probably the best Aussie musical since Priscilla went global." It wrote "Tim Finn's songs range from Broadway-inspired numbers to true blue ballads, from witty patter songs to shares of blues and jazz standards. They're beautifully integrated with the dramatic action, and the comic lyrics are priceless."
