It is intended to be performed in a space where audience members can feel they are an integral part of the event.The play centres on a family who unexpectedly find themselves financially well off, and move from their working-class suburb to an up-market suburb.Implications of a 'class-based' society in Australia and societal pressure for change and conformity are explored in a mostly humorous way.
