The Torch

MELBOURNE — Fuelled by sporting and nationalist zeal, aiming to impress the eyes of the world, the torch is heading towards Sydney for the 2000 Olympics. As the nation's dust is disturbed, the ghosts emerge from the shadows — the ghosts of racism against indigenous people and of ethnic, nationalist and religious feuds.

This provocative and entertaining new Australian play sweeps from country town to capital city. Filled with seldom-heard voices, it exposes the nightmares and dreams of our nation. The Torch stars an exciting indigenous and multicultural cast. Book now, 11 performances only at the North Melbourne Town Hall from February 11. Tickets (03) 9419 6098. Pictured is cast member Andrea James.
