'The Tank is a rollicking originla music theatre work that uses a montage of drama and monologue spiced with lyrical and joyous music to celebrate the idea of family and spirit of place.
'The bleak Tasmanian valley in which The Tank is set could be anywhere in eastern Australia. It is the story of Dora Carney and her journey from adolescence to old age as a wife and mother, expert in the art of making do.'
