THE DUCK SHOOTER

BY MARTY DENNISS

The Duck Shooter is more than just an exploration of working class men as they attempt to navigate themselves through the unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory of grief. It is a mythic and violent struggle over a father’s legacy and what it means to be a man in contemporary Australia. ‘The Duck Shooter’ started life as a one-act play, ‘Lime-Green Jelly,’ was transformed into a successful film, ‘Erskineville Kings’ starring Hugh Jackman and now, nine years after it was first written, is fully developed as a stage drama. The script was further developed at the Australian National Playwrights Conference in April, 2003, and presented as a staged reading by Brink Productions in 2004.

Presented by State Theatre Company South Australia and Brink Productions
