“LAST OF THE KNUCKLEMEN” by John Powers
Director: James Winter

Featured: Ian Roberts, Steve Hayden, Andrew Crabbe, Roger Smith, David Terry, Blair Cutting, Raoul Agapis, Ben Maclaine and Aaron Scully

 

The play takes place in an ore-drilling outfit where the men are as rough as the conditions they are forced to exist. Within in sweltering heat of an arid North-Western landscape, eight hardened labourers combat their after-hours boredom with games that test their loyalty . . . negotiating their status through rituals that affirm their masculinity, identity and self respect.

“This is a crazy place . . .”
“There aren’t crazy places . . . just crazy people. No shortage of them up here – that’s for sure!”
