A Town Named War Boy

‘We hit Cairo like a train! … Every dirty little alley, every dusty back-room bar. The pyramids are marvellous, but I could spend the rest of my days quite happily in the arms of your temptation.’

Inspired by the State Library of New South Wales’ jaw-dropping collection of World War I diaries and letters, A Town Named War Boy explores both the events of war and the impact it has upon soldiers and their families. Written with insight, humour and sensitivity, Ross Mueller’s moving play brings the ANZAC legend to life.
