CONSOLATION,

COMPETITIONS OPEN TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS ONLY
JOE CINQUE’S CONSOLATION
tells the true story of the death of Joe Cinque. In early 1997 Anu
Singh, a law student at the Australian National University, confides in
friends that she plans to kill herself to put an end to a mysterious
illness. With doctors unable or unwilling to help, Anu’s boyfriend, Joe
Cinque, attempts to get to the bottom of her condition. As Anu’s mental
and emotional state begins to disintegrate, her plans grow more macabre
and more public.
Joe begins to understand
the true nature of their relationship while Anu blames him for her
illness and vows revenge against him. After an elaborate farewell dinner
party attended by friends, Anu drugs Joe with Rohypnol. Now under Anu’s
control, Joe’s fate depends on their friends and colleagues intervening
to save his life. Instead they gradually withdraw, unwilling to help or
immobilised by doubt or disbelief. More than a day later, on the 26th of
October 1997, Anu injects Joe with a lethal dose of heroin.
JOE CINQUE’S CONSOLATION
is the adaptation of Helen Garner’s best-selling account of these
events: an examination of collective and individual responsibility, and
a crime that shocked Australia.
