Summary: "Frank and Frances find new life in a twilight love affair, to the consternation of their conventional children. Their dream takes them north to the sun; but no sooner do they find their idyll than signs of mortality betray Frank's lion spirit. 'Travelling North' is David Williamson's tribute to the generation that fought for change in Australia from the 30s to the 70s; and reaches to rueful conclusion that the legacy of such self-determination is narrow-mindedness and the need for love. The play is introduced by Dr Philip Parsons, senior lecturer in drama at the University of NSW." -- Back cover
