Description

The Chapel Perilous is an Australian play that explores the life of Sally Banner, a woman's quest for freedom and self-realisation in a community uncertain of its standards. Written by Dorothy Hewett, this epic work is full of lyricism, music, satire and self-parody.

Through Sally's journey, from school days to lovers, attempted suicide, marriage and politics, the play traces her life towards disillusionment. Ultimately, the artist's sense of failure is ironically coupled with worldly success.
