| Description |
Ah, Sydney. Pay someone to piss on you and instead you get your throat cut.
Written in 1995, Louis Nowra's gleefully lurid satirical drama paints a picture of the city's underbelly in a series of linked vignettes: a palsied young woman treated like a dog by her ancient captor; a young man dying of AIDS who goads his father into a murderous rage; a corrupt cop on a speed bender; a drug dealer trying to offload 100 kilograms of stolen shellfish; a croaking rock legend who needs pethidine injections before she can face her fans. |
