A blistering take on Australian identity that pulls no punches … powerful yet devastating theatre that deserves attention. (theMusic.com)
Alma lives on a spectacular but debt-ridden cattle station in the far outback of Australia. The cattle are long gone and no income is coming in but Alma refuses to give up her home. Out of the blue a wealthy stranger appears bearing gifts. Alma spies a plan of salvation - hope is on the horizon and prosperity is in the air or is there a thunderous storm of tumult rolling her way? Hilarity and tragedy sweep the stage as these beguiling and feisty characters battle for security in their unstable world.
