What readers are saying

Readers find 'Buried City' to be an interesting one-act play that tackles various heavy themes such as class divide, overpopulation, and climate change. However, the lack of plot and context leaves some feeling it tries to address too much without clarity.

Synopsis

Late one night in the gutted façade of a building primed for redevelopment, a group of security workers, labourers, and a local teenager find themselves haunting the same territory.

One by one they rule a line in the sand, and by dawn theyre set for a showdown over who builds the future and who gets to own it.

Buried City is an ambitious new work about ever-changing cities like Sydney where waves of immigrants make new lives on old land.

(1 act, 4 male, 2 female).
