Description "The group have come up with a powerful piece of drama... all the performers have a strong presence and work together well as an ensemble. Don Mamouney's direction is sharp and defined.
Plane Truth is a multi-media performance work that examines the nightmare politics behind the decision to open the third runway at Kingsford Smith Airport. It plots the history of the airport and looks at the repercussions of this decision in term of human costs."
