Set in Sydney in the 1950s, Ladies in Black is a new Australian musical featuring 20 original songs written by Tim Finn and a stunning range of some 30 custom-designed and created dresses and suits. The genesis of Ladies in Black actually happened at the Brisbane Airport – Tim Finn was famously looking for a book to read, bought Madeleine St John’s 1993 novel The Women in Black and on reading it, was compelled to call director Simon Phillips and plant the seed for a stage production. On the plane, he started writing the music. The rest is
history.
