Just returned from a highly successful 6-show run at the Bendigo Ag Show in Victoria.
Featuring the mighty yarn THE GUN by popular bush-poet John Taylor.
Written by award winning playwright Hellie Turner Â… including some great original songs.
In the universal shearing shed Yakka, Blue and Gus congregate at daybreak to shear sheep. Cause that's what they do.
Blow after blow, woolly beast after woolly beast, smoko after smoko, run after run. The shears don't click Â… but the yapping of dogs out in the pens, the rowdy clank and robust hum of the machines, the radio belching country tunes at top notch, and regular demands of "wool away!" blend to form the rugged tapestry of their outback lives.
Blue the exalted 'gun' shearer - champion of the shed
Gus the humble 'gun' knitter - champion of half the world
Yakka the wild 'gun' lover - champion of the mattress springs (that is, according to rousie Jess, the princess of the shearin shed)
A yard of yarns, a mob of mythology and a bleat of 'bewdiful' songs combine to entertain the audience - whether they be shearing savvy or not.
The play runs approximately an hour in length.
