2018 Edinburgh Fringe

Australia's towering literary genius Patrick White's language is pure performance in this richly theatrical adaptation. Actors, musicians and audience share the space beneath a canvas of Australian sky. The work shifts and swirls, drawing the audience into the immediacy of a strangely familiar world - the suburb of Barranugli - where the Whalley family are getting ready for a day at the dump, while next door the Hogbens prepare to bury the scandalous Daise Morrow. Brutally funny, this is storytelling rich with music and light. 'Visually captivating, splendidly lucid stage adaption' (Australian).
