Prize for an outstanding new work of music theatre that has the potential to attract a widespread audience. Administered by the Pratt Foundation.
Amy runs 'Emoh Ruo', the family sheep station in northern Victoria. She's held onto the property through drought, bushfire and falling wool prices, determined not to let it slip out of the family grasp. But when the family gathers over a scorching long weekend, Amy has to face up to the myths and lies the place has been built upon. Is she holding on or is she stuck?
