Description |
While driving on the Great Ocean Road on a wild and wintry night, coal mining CEO Harry Jewel hits an endangered tiger quoll. He rushes the injured animal to a wildlife centre, where a zoologist, Dr Piper Ross, does her best to save it. The eventual death of the tiger quoll is the backdrop to Hannie Rayson's new play, Extinction. |
