Unbearable Things
From Urban Press
It’s 1942. The American pacific fleet are “over sexed, over paid and over here”. In Auckland they call dancer Dora Hart the “Sweetheart of the Service”. Before the War though, she was famous for a different reason. Called as a witness during the murder trial of Milos Radev, Dora is accused by the defence of having had an affair with the alleged poisoning victim, Milos’ wife Adele. Told in flashback through the eyes of Dora and loosely based on the real life Mareo trialin the the early 1930′s, the play explores a fictionalised background to these charges.
