The environment, sex and politics, political parties 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. Entertaining whatever your preferred politics. The play becomes a cathartic outburst of issues, with a stinger that glimpses a way forward. The story is a roller coaster with bite, the characters are too real, and their values are held to account.

When country MP Karl Metters meets Ukrainian-born Vanya, he is forced to re-examine his long-held conservative values. This new Australian work challenges audiences to consider their own attitudes towards today’s headline issues: nationalism, climate change, and the war in Ukraine.
