16 self contained playlets set over 24 hours from dawn to dawn in Sydney.
Moving from the streets of Kings Cross to the harbour views of a penthouse
apartment, connections are made between characters and situations in
bizarre and revelatory ways… an inspector, searching for stolen abalone, is
trapped by a Kurt Cobain fanatic who is about to urinate on him; a Kings
Cross policeman, who’s been speeding for 24 hours, questions a prostitute
over stolen drugs; a gay Sydney businessman acquires a young and very
brash Romanian lover. And there’s an alien roaming the streets… the
resulting picture is of a city and people existing within an almost amoral
randomness but where a little kindness goes a long way.
