| Description |
The Man from Mukinupin is one of Australia?s great theatrical creations from one of our great poets and ratbags, Dorothy Hewett. In dusty Mukinupin, Jack Tuesday loves Polly Perkins and Polly loves Jack. But when night comes it?s Touch Of The Tar who tickles Jack?s drunken fancy. Through this double-Mukinupin, by day and night, Hewett gives us a twin vision of black and white Australia clinging together for all we?re worth. |
