Description 'Radloff evidently set out to create an account of her parents' ill-fated marriage in 1960s Perth, when it was novel and mildly shocking for an Aboriginal girl to take up with a German migrant.' [Laurie]

'The big problem ... is not the musical interludes, but the thinness of the play's narrative.' [Banks]

'As a State and federal-funded theatre Deckchair has a responsibility to do stronger work than this. Such a lame effort might just be an indictable offence.' [Banks]
