Description A musical celebration of country life in a Western Australian wheat-belt town at the time of the Great War.
Dorothy Hewett's play sparkles with the verve and innocence of "the good old days" whilst exposing the hidden secrets of some of Australia's darkest moments in history.
The story of star-crossed lovers Polly Perkins and Jack Tuesday unfolds against a background of rivalries and feuds, the clash of European and indigenous cultures and the profound changes wrought by the experience of war.
