three endings to the romance drama. “I originally set out to take the notion of the sweeping, ‘Gone With the Wind’-style epic and turn it on its head — a way of using romance and epic drama to shine a light on the roles of First Nations people and the painful scar in Australian history of the ‘Stolen Generations,‘” Luhrmann noted in a statement.“While ‘Australia,’ the film has its own life, there was another telling of this story; one with different layers, nuances and even alternative plot twists that an episodic format has allowed us to explore,” he said.“Drawn from the same material, ‘Faraway Downs’ is a new variation on ‘Australia’ for audiences to discover,” the “Great Gatsby” director added.“Australia” told the tale of an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) who inherits a cattle station called Faraway Downs following the death of her husband on the brink of World War II.She teams up with a cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) when Australian barons want to infiltrate her land and take over the territory.

His version made its debut at London’s National Theatre in 2018.
The play’s director, Sam Mendes, picked up his second Tony award, using his speech to herald “a season of such rampant creativity and diversity” and thanked his colleagues for “keeping this show alive during some pretty dark days”. Simon Russell Beale was also named best actor in a play, saying he felt “a little sheepish” that he won over his two nominated co-stars, Adrian Lester and Adam Godley. The Lehman Trilogy also won for scenic design and lighting of a play.
The Broadway transfer of Company, which originated in London’s West End, was named best revival of a musical. Patti LuPone, who won an Olivier for the role, beat out A Strange Loop’s L Morgan Lee, who was the first openly transgender actor to receive a Tony nomination, for best featured actress in a musical. LuPone thanked “all of the Covid safety people” and, in a reference to a viral video of an anti-mask attendee who screamed that she pays her salary, she thanked producer Chris Harper “who pays my salary”.
