Description "BANDlCOOT on a Burnt Bridge", by Marian Dreyer, is the first
of a series of Australian plays to to be presented by Studio 228, a small playhouse on the corner of Peters Lane and Forbes Street, Darlinghurst. This play deservedly won the Journalists Club Award of $2,000. Structurally it is excellent and shows great mastery of the dry sardonic humour of everyday Australian
dialogue at its best, - A murderer holed up in an opposite flat provides a catalyst which causes a King's Cross couple to show
themselves as the individuals they are and leads to the final tragedy.
