| title | A Beautiful Morning Tea (v1) - Equality: A Work in Progress |
| description | Homosexual law reform would ultimately take sixteen months, from March 1985 to July 1986. During that time it was rarely far from the public eye. Night after night the television news carried stories about the bill, the protests, and the growing national debate. Before long, it became a talking point in homes, workplaces, and around kitchen tables across the country.Just a couple of months into the campaign, two mothers meet for a morning tea. What begins as a friendly catch-up soon turns to the subject everyone seems to be talking about. These same two mothers reappear in Act 2 in the song The Space Between, where we find them again, this time working quietly together creating quilts.The home page for the musical can be found here.
