“it is an atmosphere-charged moment when dusk is falling, the first scene opens and the dirt stage is bare. All the audience can make out is the sound of singing voices, carried from far off.
As the voices move closer they are accompanied by the hypnotic sound of water swishing and as the audience peers through the parting in the trees, it can see canoes coming around the bend. They carry the messengers, who pull in by the stage and disembark”
The Herald Sun
“Meredith Rodgers’ production is lively, inventive and idiomatic without being overly simplified”
