★★★★☆ The staging is skilful: the actors use all the generous performance area at Circomedia, props and effects are efficiently utilised, and the lighting and sound is judicious and effective.

★★★★☆ In an Adelaide suburb, a working class couple, Bob and Fran Price, has worked selflessly to give their four kids everything they didn’t have themselves. But the family idyll they like to project is about to be shaken by the life choices taken by their two sons, Mark and Ben, and daughters Pip and Rosie.

★★★★☆ Imperialism and racism poisons those human capacities that can bring us together, but sadly they are not the only poisons that tear humanity apart. Whatever may have happened in the intervening century the themes of this play remain as relevant today as they were during the height of the age of empires.
