Buying a piece of the Aussie Dream becomes reality for the Jones’s. Everything is fine until the weather changes and working on the farm becomes a struggle. Rain and drought damage crops and the bills are overdue. While the Jones’s lose everything, the Banks make another record profit.
“An Epic performance. A relevant subject, with a strong attention to story line. The costumes, direction and choreography are highlights. Wonderful commitment to detail. Terrific score. Great use of AV. The onstage crew are fantastic. A mini musical epic with strong attention to plot. Excellent” – Wayne Scott Kermond
