Three Plays: Rising Water, Signs of Life, Shrine Food & society 'Newman is truly a master

'Newman is truly a master of taking complex and chaotic human emotion and making sense of it

This book follows the experiences of refugees

yearning and the search for self

It seems like Leonard will never sleep again

the sparks that fly are more than her magical enchantments

Three Plays: Rising Water, Signs of Life, Shrine Food & society 'Newman is truly a masterMarked by Winton's signature ear for dialogue, these are three searing plays about survival, mourning, and the remarkable gift of redemption. Winton's first play, Rising Water, sees middle aged fringe dwellers Col, Baxter and Jackie living aboard neighbouring boats in a crowded marina. Each of them nurses secret wounds and anxieties, and although their vessels are ocean going craft, none seems likely to ever leave the safe confines of the harbour.
