Description By Australian playwright, Mona Brand. "You'll agree with Christine, the planter's bride from London. She, an honest girl, arrives in Malaya and is appalled by the treatment of the natives, shocked by the attitudes of her own people, the white bosses who are the real strangers in the land, a land which rightfully belongs to the Malayan peoples."
