AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The Australian home front debate over conscription at the height of WWI was complex, emotive and deeply challenging for a young nation. A new play, The Blood Votes by acclaimed playwright Michael Futcher, dramatises the events of 1916-17 as they unfolded in Brisbane and captures the passions and dilemmas of the time. Based on historical research, using authentic historical speeches and documents, The Blood Votes is a unique theatrical interpretation of this compelling moment in Queensland's history.'
