Foreigners in Oztralia

Foreigners in Oztralia is a fun play about different people's lifestyles and dealing with expectations that are not met.

Two worlds come together when Anita and Frederick, an upper crust couple from England come to stay at Shazza and Bazza'a homestead. Anita and Frederick's high expectations of luxury and first class service are dashed when Shazza and Bazza proudly show off their homestead, which not only lodges foreigners, but a very pregnant cow! There's a little lesson to be learnt about materialism and judging people by external appearances.
