EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment Australian playwright Michael Gow (1945-2019) takes the stage as an actor in a production of his own groundbreaking play, "Away," at London's Tower Theatre in 1978. Known for his innovative and thought-provoking works, Gow made a significant contribution to the Australian and international theatrical landscape. Born in Sydney, Gow began his career as a playwright in the late 1960s, with his first major success coming in 1971 with the premiere of "A Small Family Business." However, it was "Away," which premiered in Sydney in 1976 and transferred to London the following year, that truly put him on the map. The play, which explores themes of family, identity, and the search for belonging, was a critical and commercial success and established Gow as a leading voice in contemporary Australian theatre. In this image, Gow can be seen in character, dressed in a suit and holding a briefcase, surrounded by a group of actors. The intense expression on his face and the focused gaze of his fellow performers suggest the depth and complexity of the emotional journey that lies ahead in the performance. With "Away," Gow demonstrated his versatility as both a writer and an actor, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on the world of theatre. This photograph, taken in 1978, is a testament to the rich history of Australian theatre and the extraordinary talent of one of its most celebrated figures. Michael Gow's work continues to be performed and studied around the world, and this image stands as a lasting tribute to his legacy as a playwright, actor, and director.
