AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'We hit Cairo like a train! … Every dirty little alley, every dusty back room bar - the pyramids are marvellous, but I could spend the rest of my days quite happily in the arms of your temptation.

'Inspired by The State Library of New South Wales' jaw-dropping collection of WWI diaries and letters, and featuring a cast of Australia’s hottest emerging actors, A Town Named War Boy is the moving new play that brings our ANZAC legend to life.' (Production summary)
