The most famous Australian play and one of the most loved, this is the tragicomic story of Roo and Barney. Beautifully observed, humorous and poignant, Ray Lawler’s much-loved play is a tale of two Queensland cane-cutters who, for 16 years, have worked up north in the brutal sugar cane fields and travelled back to Melbourne to meet up for 5 months of partying and romance with their barmaid girlfriends. AussieTheatre.com said this play is “an iconic Australian work that should remain an important part of our Australian theatre-going repertoire and cultural education”.
