Tom White has a loving family and an adequate career, but when his workload is downscaled he disappears from his family without a trace. He becomes an anonymous street person travelling through a contemporary underworld that is as unexpectedly funny as it is tragic.
Structured around a collection of Les Murray poems about a father and son who have lost the most treasured woman in their lives. THE WIDOWER is a poetically conceived music-drama that explores themes of ageing, isolation, loss and love in an Australian rural setting.
