The publication of the play A Terrible Beauty, by Charles Sturt University (CSU) lecturer Mr Ray Harding, will be launched at the Ubud Writers’ Festival in Bali on 27 September 2007. A Terrible Beauty deals with the October 2002 Bali Bombing which claimed more than 200 lives, 88 of them Australian. "It's wonderful that this publication can be launched in Bali, near the site of the tragedy that this work reflects upon," Mr Harding said. "It's a celebration of the triumph of hope and goodwill which many of us didn't think would be possible a few years ago." This is Mr Harding's fifth play and it had its world premiere performance at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre in June 2006. The play's publication launch will be accompanied by a performance of the play by an all-Indonesian cast. The launch will be officiated by Finley Smith, organizer of the writers' festival, together with former senior CSU theatre lecturer, Bill Blaikie and Kersena Dewanto, the festival's artistic director.
