This adaptation of an Australian contemporary opera by Andrew Schultz is set in an Outback town where, during a violent storm, five people - a drunk, a judge, his assistant, a policeman and the mother of a young Aboriginal man who died in police custody - take refuge in the local jail. The Aborigines' sufferings since the arrival of the Europeans are recounted in song and relived through dance performed by members of the Bangarra Dance Troupe.
Producer/Director Kevin Lucas
