Synopsis: This was written at the time Australia was considering becoming a republic and breaking its ties with the crown. My great fear was that this would become just another football for the politicians to kick around. And it did. Hence this play.

Notes: -
Synopsis: Designed for a student production with as big a cast as possible. There are 21 role and I tried to give each part as much of a go as possible. I also put in a number of different acting styles. The result is a bit of a mish-mash from an audience point of view, but it will challenge a student group.
