New writing from old Australians this collection presents Aboriginal playwrights using the dramatic form to tell how black and white Australians interact.'
'These are modern, urban plays, but traditional beliefs give strength and resilience to many of the characters in them. These city dwellers are joined to the land and their dreaming, with ancient bonds of common belief; the four plays provide a remarkable, often humorous insight into Aboriginal experience in Australia.'
