'"Behind The Cane" tells the little known story of the origins of the Australian South Sea Islander Community. This emotive new piece of musical theatre chronicles – in song, dance and story – the triumph and joy of the Islander spirit against immense social and geographical hardship. The original score blends western, gospel and Melanesian music and is brought to life by a stunning local cast of 120 including choirs and ensembles from across the region.'

"Milo’s Wake (written by Margery and Michael Forde) is a tragi-comedy set in an Irish-style pub somewhere in Australia. Milo O’Connor has organised his own wake because he’s a bit down and wants to give people a chance to say something nice about him - and have a bit of a sing-along."
