The Great Fire takes place in the all-too-familiar Australian disaster zone: mum and dad's place at Christmas. On an idyllic Adelaide Hills property, a family gathers to decide the next phase of their lives as part of the ever-gentrifying arts industry in this domestic drama written by Kit Brookman.

Nevertheless, we carry on.

Belvoir presents THE GREAT FIRE as a kind of companion to THE BLIND GIANT IS DANCING - a pair of plays a generation apart about family, about holding your course, about what will survive of the fading triumph of Australian social democracy. Where The Blind Giant is a political thriller about the corrupting force of power,The Great Fire is a meditation on the tragedy of a generation that, despite its best ambitions, is leaving the world in a worse state than they inherited it.
