Construction of the Human Heart by Ross Mueller

Construction of the Human Heart by Ross Mueller WA Premiere The Blue Room, Gossips’ Feast Productions & Australian Opera Studio presents the West Australian premiere of Construction of the Human Heart by one of Australia’s most adventurous and promising playwrights, Ross Mueller (The Ghost Writer, No Man’s Island). The play is an engrossing theatrical rendering of insoluble grief and our artful, yet fragile, human attempts to deal with it. At the heart of the play is a couple, simply called “Her” and “Him”. As the story unfolds we discover that the characters are writers and are reading their own work. After having recently suffered the loss of their young son Tom, the work is a desperate attempt to heal, and reconstruct, their hearts. “One of the pleasures of Mueller’s play certainly is its wit, but this is a work of real emotional power, a genuinely moving reflection on the power of the human mind to render the unspeakable in words and on the ultimate inability of words to deal with the deepest of grief.” The Sunday Age AWGIE nomination Best Stage Play 2007 Nominated Melbourne Prize for Best Writing 2007 Shortlisted New York New Dramatists Award 2006 Five Green Room nominations 2005/06 Theatre at its most thoughtful and compelling.
