'The Secret Death of Salvador Dali is a surrealistic account of the lamentable life and deplorable death of the great and infamous Spanish painter, Salvador Dali, who left his indelible mark on Twentieth Century art with a host of unforgettable paintings but who was incapable of crossing the road without holding someone's hand. An astonishingly self-engrossed narcissist, he was undoubtedly a genius who fascinated and infuriated everyone who knew him. Revolutionary, fascist, narcissist, masturbator, Dali was finally Dali! his own work of art, a consummate performer whose performance was his very own life.
'Written by one of Australia's best known writers, this play enters the phantasmagorical world of Dali to dissect the notions of genius, art and politics and to ask the questions, does great art justify terrible behaviour and do you have to be a mad exhibitionist to thrive in an art world being swallowed by the voraciously hungry market.'
