Description |
"...an entertaining look at aspects of early Australian history. Rafferty is a wealthy merchant involved in rum smuggling in Sydney during Governor Bligh's time in office. Rafferty has some very strange friends and accomplices. The style of the production is lively and energetic with some characters wearing half-masks in the commedia dell'arte tradition." |
