The Christian Brothers

Ron Blair’s great Australian play, 'THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS', is the life in a day of a teaching Christian Brother in the 1950s. It’s a funny, heartbreaking, challenging, loving and searingly honest portrayal of a teacher and his faith. It’s a nostalgic vision of a system of teaching which once served Australians. It provides a bravura role for actor Robert Cusenza, directed by Peter Goers.

Presented by: Peter Goers
