Publisher's Synopsis
Jonathan Hardy's adaptation of Dymphna Cusack's acclaimed novel, first published in 1935, celebrates a love of language and literature. Set within Australia's 'Bloomsbury' set of free thinking liberals in the years between the wars, Jungfrau is a richly poetic portrayal of three single women striving to maintain the delicate balance between friendship, professional ethics, social responsibility and their progressive philosophies (2 acts, 3 men, 5 women).
