It’s mutton-bird season and the Duncans are back in their plucking shed. Amid the threat of bird gurry, tiger snakes, Aunty Marlene and Pop blowing a pooper valve, the family reunites with a country and culture still very much alive. Hatchets are buried, secrets told, pranks pulled and deep connections drawn.

Featuring some of the best Aboriginal talent from around the country including Trevor Jamieson (The Secret River) and Tammy Anderson (I Don’t Wanna Play House). You’ll be fascinated and inspired. And you’ll laugh your head off.

The God That Comes is a wine-soaked rock & roll cabaret starring Hawksley Workman in an extraordinary solo performance that fuses the chaotic revelry of a rock concert with the intimacy of theatre. Hawksley – award-winning rocker, writer and actor – plays all the characters and all the instruments in a spectacle of pure talent.

It is a tonic for a society that has lost its sense of balance and abandoned its animal instincts.

Raise a glass, get lost in the music, but beware; this is Bacchus at his most potent.
