| Description |
The Aboriginal Dreamtime legend of Tiddalik, a greedy frog who drains all the waterholes, is juxtaposed with a subplot about corporate vandalism of the environment. Traditional storyteller Stephen Gadlabardi Goldsmith keeps everything flowing as the plot unfolds and wheelchairs become tractors, actors become trees and the ensemble must somehow resolve the drama. |
