Here
is ordinary suburban Australia: three houses and three backyards,
well-lawned and duly Hill’s-hoisted, full of the happy hubbub of family
life. In this no-worries tract of battlers and good sorts, the Boyles,
the Pogsons and the Knotts live out the Great Australian Dream of
frugal comfort and conspicuous normality.
But look closer.
These may be everyday Australians, but every day – every sunny, yellow,
oven-baked day – is dunked in the pinky, bitter-sweet cuppa of human
life. Seek love or lust or hatred; seek joy or disappointment, or the
beauty that redeems, or the repulsiveness that clutches; seek head-back
mirth or head-bowed sorrow; and you will surely fi nd it contained
within the three grassy spaces between the fence palings and the brick
veneer during this long hot season at Sarsaparilla.
Warning: This production features herbal (non-tobacco) cigarettes and stage atmospherics.
