Description Three houses and three backyards, a pregnant wife, a nosey neighbour and a post office boy in love. It's late 1960. It's summer and the 'lady dogs' - as Girlie Pogson so politely refers to them - in Mildred Street are on heat.
Three families - the Boyles, the Pogsons and the Knotts - eke out a normal existence in this newly-minted, dusty city fringe. But normalcy belies the secrets and lust, the beauty, hypocrisy, repression, malevolence and terrible innocence. And today the apparently mundane will become both hilarious and terrifying.
