Description |
"Once upon a time, two native-born Australians, still wrapped in the robes of childhood, find themselves lost in the Unforgiving Bush. They meet a colourful cavalcade of colonial pantomimics and get caught up in a spiralling hallucination of disreputable tales". Tom Wright has hunted through our rich heritage of colonial pantomimes to create this triumph of rhyme over reason. |
