Robin Grove, The Age (review of original production)



This is your opportunity to work with one of the world’s leading theatre makers.



VX18504 was the army service number of Sergeant Mick (Clifford Matthew Tankard), Meryl Tankard's father.



In this exuberant and thought-provoking blend of acting and physical theatre, Meryl Tankard explores the origins of conflict in our society, from childhood cruelty and backyard brawls to the ravages of war. Profoundly moving, this unique theatrical experience speaks to audiences of all ages, amplified by the humour, optimism and boundless energy of a youthful cast.



Meryl Tankard is one of Australia’s most internationally acclaimed theatre makers. Her vast body of work includes Furioso (Australian Dance Theatre), Wild Swans (Australian Ballet), the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, Kaidan (2007 Sydney Festival), Tarzan on Broadway, and The Beautiful Game in the West End.
