‘The Great Australian Play’ is a psychedelic romp through the myths of our glorious nation’s past, present and imagined future.

The play follows five screenwriters attempting to create the next great Australian story out of the myth of Harold Bell Lasseter, who in 1930 charmed Australia with stories of a golden “reef” in the heart of the desert and mounted a doomed expedition to find it in the middle of the Great Depression – before disappearing into the desert himself.
