AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Nuclear disaster has scorched the land. What remains is a ruthless and primitive world. This desert wasteland is populated by those with "the affliction", a disease caused by an addictive substance called Mud. Isolated communities fence themselves in against marauders in order to protect themselves and their most valuable resource: water. One such community is in possession of the only known well on the central plains. When an outsider arrives from the wastelands showing signs of the Affliction, the community is plunged into a decision as to whether they will help the man, or send him back into the desert. This challenges the community’s strong moral code, their compassion and ultimately their unity.' Source: www.goattracktheatreco.com/ (Sighted 17/09/2010).
