- Summary
- The collection includes: CMI (A Certain Maritime Incident) explores the notorious children overboard affair of 2001, transforming a Senate Inquiry into public deception into a horribly funny tragedy. The Wages of Spin cleverly examines the issues surrounding the intelligence reports that were used as the pretext for Australia's involvement in the Iraq war. Subversive, witty and playful, the play juxtaposes the media obsession with stardom with the shocking realities of war. Deeply Offensive and Utterly Untrue distils 8,800 pages of the Cole Inquiry into the wheat-for-weapons scandal into provocative and entertaining theatre. Australian government ministers and Australian Wheat Board executives all seemed to suffer from collective amnesia about AWB paying Saddam Husseins regime $250 million in bribes, even as Australia was preparing for war against Iraq.
