| Description | "A brave, poetic saga of love and heroism. In a trench at Gallipoli a Celtic/Australian soldier befriends and seduces a younger Australian digger. Boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boys become myths. This superb play is literally a cliff-hanger set amid one of the most appalling moral and military atrocities of our century." | |||||||||||||||||||
