SPOUTING BLACK HOLES is a collection of sevenof Bill Reed’s most popular plays brought together in modernised form and language.
The works collected here are:
Mr Siggie Morrison with his Comb and Paper
Burke’s Company
Truganinni
Bullsh (including More Bullsh)
Cass Butcher Bunting
Just Out of Your Ground
You Want It, Don’t You, Billy?
Each play has been ‘modernised’, in that the playwright has changed the plots as necessary to bring them up-to-date and brought the colloquialisms to be more familiar to the modern ear. Here and there, staging, too, has been altered to reflect modern-theatre’s economies of scale. Settings and characterisations, though, have not been changed.
