Playwright

Director
Paul Treasure
Adapted from Siobhan McHugh's book, Minefields & Miniskirts is a collection of stories and memories from the women who were affected by the Vietnam War. 

A volunteer, a journalist, a nurse, the wife of a Vietnam vet and an entertainer cross paths at an Anzac Day march during the 1980's. The women are transported back to the 1960's and early 1970's to their youthful experiences in Vietnam into a memory world where rice paddies, paper lanterns and ancient temples team with G.I's, orphaned children and constant bombardment. The play features many iconic songs of the period written by female singer/songwriters.
