In Conversation: Henry Goes Bush

  • Jubliee Hall 52 Smith Street Macedon, Victoria, 3440 Australia (map)

The price of genius is one hell of a hangover.

Wayne Marshall reimagines Henry Lawson’s 1892 trip to Bourke as a surrealist action movie where Lawson must outrun his own myth and a gunslinger known as The Rider, aka Banjo - a poet significantly better at being a legend than Henry is.

Henry Goes Bush confronts the madness that lies behind our colonial dreaming - a moment where history is a hallucination and 'the bush' a phantasmagoric theme park. A reality in which The Bulletin's famed poetry wars are an actual shootout on the banks of the Darling River.
