'Three generations settle their earthly matters before the end. Everyman guides them, and us, through the final stages of existence, helps say goodbye with dignity before the curtains are drawn on the old world they knew. Grandparents rebel entering retirement home, their family want to con the pension, and all give “solo pieces” - memories of the best and the worst… and they dance, only dancing spares the deadly stress of the end of the world, which they are so keen to witness.'

'Unacceptable, foul, disastrous, inappropriate, or awkward: Not a Good Look!

'An absurdist portrait of modern Australian life, NaGL uses the conventions on clowning, vaudeville, Brecht and Dadaism and delivers a buoyant, uncharmed appraisal of a nation. Old Uncle Chuck rings the bell and in twenty-two boxing rounds, a family battles it out. With clatter and clutter, they are always divided and united. It's our family. It's our nation. It's Not a Good Look...but Look We Must!' (Publication summary)
