A new Aussie musical… for all Aussies.
Boy is 14 years old, from Thiitharr Warra Country. He’s just found Baker Boy has been awarded Young Australian Of The Year and proclaims a “new day”. However, his youthful optimism is dashed by his classmates notion of what it means to be Australian. Using elements of song cycle, we then meet a myriad of wild and wacky Aussie characters who take us across the continent. We eventually meet Boy again, at a moment of reckoning. What does it really mean to be Australian?
Digging deep into the themes of identity and belonging, The Lucky Country is a heart-felt, wildly entertaining and a joyful celebration of a new vision of who we can be as Australians.
