AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Even a flame needs a drop of water – no strength in burnin’ if there’s no risk of bein’ snuffed out.

'In a time when the sun burns through skin and water only comes in bottles, Ngadjung is an environmental drama set in a scarily imaginable future, right here on Ngunnawal Country. 

'A giant company sells synthetic liquid to quench the thirst of those who’ve survived, and natural water reserves have all but dried up. Two women – an unlikely pairing – unpack the past and spar over the future. Cass is from the city; she’s young, smart and reckons she can fix it all. Flick is from the river that no longer exists; she’s older, fiercer  and history runs through her veins. Without water, how can we live? And most importantly, how will we remember?'
