AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Johnny Castellano is Mine is a tour-de-force solo work written by Canberra playwright Emma Gibson.

'Alice is accomplished, poised, perfect, until she falls in love with Johnny Castellano. Trapped within her own memory, she recounts the story of her first great love, but cracks begin to show.

'Recounting and responding to classic fairy tales, Johnny Castellano is Mine is a story of obsession, repression, and rebellion... but most of all, an enduring love.' (Source: Production website)
