AND THE BIG MEN FLY

$5.40 – $15.00

Achilles Jones is discovered on his lonely farm near Manangatang kicking wheatbags around, as it saves him dragging them. The talent scout of the Galahs, a struggling AFL football team, plucks him from obscurity and soon he is kicking footballs and rocketing the team to victory in the Grand Final. This gentle tall story satirises a game that has grown, since this play was written in 1963, to be a National powerhouse, the play enjoying its own success, having sold 200,000 copies, mostly to schools.
