Description A confrontational and political modern classic originally devised by the Melbourne Workers Theatre. Stories of 'fringe dwellers' living in an age of social and cultural isolation and economic rationalism. Poor, marginalised, some without work, most uninterested in political correctness, struggling to pay the mortgage, live with hope, find the energy to love, to fit in, to be a part of a community, to survive. Fierce, funny and confronting.
