Lace
Her name is Esther Abrahams and she has arrived with her baby on the remote shores of Sydney Cove having been convicted of stealing some lace. It is not a world she recognizes. How will she and her baby ever survive? But against all the odds, she not only survives but thrives. Her story is told in an engaging style that reflects the time and place of this unique period in Australian history with songs by Diana Blom, lyrics by Diana Weston and a chamber ensemble of harpsichord, violin and percussion.
Performers include Hester Wilson (soprano), Steve Machamer (percussion), Tara Hashambhoy (violin) and Diana Weston (harpsichord).
