Description "From Governor Arthur Phillip to Gallipoli, from beach cricket to shark attacks, from illegal arrivals to illegal drop-offs, from family gatherings to solitary anguish, from the death of a Prime minister to the murder of innocent children, Beach is a journey through events which have shaped our national dreams - and nightmares.
Vast and intimate, anguished and comic, playful and passionate, Beach is the quintessential Australian play - a story of an Australian beach, from sunrise to sunset. Beach is not just about one Australian beach - it is about all of them."
