AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Two young people are engaged in emptying out their wardrobes and sifting through their clothes. They throw out what they consider useless clothes and keep only what they intend to wear. The play is a powerful exposition of the careful examination of Macedonian values and traditions and their suitability and usefulness in contemporary Australian conditions. Questions of identity are embedded in the pragmatic assessment of the value of past cultural beliefs, customs and practices from the perspective of the present.'
