An hilarious contemporary farce. In the competetive, fast lane of Australian
politics, the City of Greater Burke is in the frontline of local government
reform. Striving to become a model of leaner and meaner bureaucracy, the
city is rationalising at an irrational speed. Driving the push for competition is
the fearless Dawn Snow, Chief Executive officer; an emissary from the world
of private enterprise. A volatile office environment, a gunpowder of ethnic mix,
dangerous dogs on the loose and a Traffic Department overtaken by neo
nazis ... this is a play which creates pure laughter from its inspired havoc.
Hannie Rayson shows us the personal and the political for what they really
are - dangerously funny bedfellows.
