| Description |
On a hot, rain-sodden afternoon in 1966, in teh glutinous mud of a rubber plantation in Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam, 108 Australian soldiers clashed with approximately 2,500 North Vietnamese troops. In the ensuing battle, 18 Australians were killed and more than 245 North Vietnamese. Long Tan beings together a cast of 12 SOuth Australian actors in an immersive audio-theatre production that will parachute audiences into the soldiers' experience - gunfire, mortar fire, pounding rain, insect clouds, screams and sudden silence - all orchestrated with sonic intensity to capture the pandemonium and entrapment under fire. |
