Furious (play)
Furious is an Australian play script by Michael Gow,[1] first performed in 1991.[2] The play centers on family secrets, betrayal, and the exploration of the age of consent for homosexual males.[3]
Of the play, the Sydney Morning Herald praised it saying "its intensity and energy, it was as if Gow had captured an emotional state and hurled it like a thunderbolt upon the stage for us all to see".[4] In her book The Body in the Library, Leigh Dale comments that the play "stages a gothicized and problematical version of the trope of the liberation of the insane".[2]
