War Trilogy
War Trilogy is made up of three one-act plays which may also be produced separately. Ms Serena Serenata, a naturalistic play with magical realist elements, tells the tale of a Filipino war veteran who serenades an Australian grandmother. Rita's Lullaby, a drama which blends poetry with naturalism, is about Manila's street children who have survived militarisation yet are prostituted by both the East and the West. Promenade, which is poetry and dance, explores the root and aftermath of different kinds of war. It utlilises music and spectacle. These plays explore how the excessive attachment to one's racial, cultural or ideological identity can easily sever our more basic link with another human being.
