| Description |
"Richard Walley has woven stories about and by Aboriginal people into a loosely-knitted, episodic play. The contemporary story, about life in the Office of Aboriginal Planning is broken by dance sequences which portray the suffering of Aboriginal people since 1788. Segments of poetry are also used to break the action and the result is a fragmented production." |
