Blood on the Wattle
About
The environment, sex and politics, political parties, country life and the Ukraine War. Contemporary Australia is put under the spotlight. The show has a real cliffhanger, and two characters and two pasts come into collision.The play becomes a cathartic outburst of issues, with a stinger that glimpses a way forward. The story is set in a country town, on the Western Slopes, and features its local Federal politician who is out of step with his party on climate and other matters. When he meets a recent arrival in town, the show becomes a roller coaster with bite, the characters are too real, and their values are held to account. Entertaining whatever your preferred politics. (Adult themes)With Annishka Oksa, (Vanya Kulish), Vincent Melton (Karl Matters) Davis (Louise Patterson). Tisha Kelemen (Narrator/singer)
Written by Geoffrey Sykes. Geoffrey has over 30 production credits, including Art Gallery of NSW, Powerhouse Museum, National Gallery of Canberra, Riverside Theatres Sydney, LaMama Melbourne, Holden Street Theatre Adelaide, Theatre South, Seymour Centre Sydney, Richard Wherrett Studio Roslyn Packer Theatre Sydney.
