AbstractHistoryArchive Description

 'A figure emerges on the horizon. The Nullarbor? Maybe. He has crashed his car in the middle of god-knows-where, and has wandered out into the desert in a state of delirium. He stumbles across an old weatherboard house that backs onto the edge of the universe. In the vast red nothingness that precedes him, this house stands as a sanctuary. But it's already occupied.

'Haunting and urgent, CRUX is a play about asylum, and our basic human impulses to fight, protect and survive. Where do we draw the line between our individual and national identities? Are we still 'The Lucky Country'? Who are we, and what are we protecting?'
