A CLASS APART
Adapted by Barry Lowe based on book by James Gardiner

Think of it as buried treasure: two cardboard boxfuls of dusty negatives and yellowed letters, the only surviving evidence of a secret relationship and of an undiscovered period in British history. “A Class Apart” is a truly eye-opening and beautifully crafted play about the photographs and letters of soldier and architect Montague Glover documenting the intimate details of his three obsessions: the Armed Forces, photographing working class men and his life-long lover from the East End, Ralph Hall. This highly visual play, in the style of Merchant Ivory, intertwines the present - the modern day evolution into the famous and bestselling photographic book - with the past - a sexy and unusual love story before and during the Second World War. A FULL CAST show.

A stunning world premiere by Performing Arts Productions in Melbourne, Australia - January/February 2004.
