Description The Bang, an atomic musical... explores young peoples fears about nuclear war. It provides facts about the effects of nuclear war. It accurately describes Australia's role in the nuclear war fighting capability of the Western alliance and thus as a potential nuclear target. In a manner entertaining and comprehensible to school children, it explores the logic-or rather illogic- of the arms race escalation. It ends on a hopeful note by looking at the efforts of the peace movement to prevent nuclear war.
Schools tour.
