Description Australia's towering literary genius Patrick White's language is pure performance in this richly theatrical adaptation. Actors, musicians and audience share the space beneath a canvas of Australian sky. The work shifts and swirls, drawing the audience into the immediacy of a strangely familiar world - the suburb of Barranugli - where the Whalley family are getting ready for a day at the dump, while next door the Hogbens prepare to bury the scandalous Daise Morrow. Brutally funny, this is storytelling rich with music and light.
