“I know you people. I got you inside of me. I got your blood.”

A conch shell, a red lantern, a pot of ochre make-up.As we were clearing out the dilapidated recesses of Belvoir St Theatre to prepare for our historic renovation we found a sad cardboard box squashed under the seating banks which contained these three treasures. After a little detective work we discovered that this was a box of props from the original production of Capricornia premiered by Company B in 1988.

Eighteen years later we are delighted that Wesley Enoch will create a new production of this epic story which follows one man’s odyssey into the dark and bloody heart of his past in the Top End.

Louis Nowra’s brilliant adaptation of Xavier Herbert’s novel Capricornia is a sweeping adventure about race and place in the Top End in the 1930’s and will be a must-see in Australian theatre in 2006... raucous, big, rich, violent, bloody and thrilling.
