Flagman
By Amy May Nunn
Presented by Dirty Pennies Theatre Project
September- October 2017
The MC Showroom
Melbourne Fringe Festival
It’s 1973 in Melbourne and the Vietnam War is winding down as a family gather on a sweltering hot day in the suburbs. Judy is making lamb, Ruben is decoding messages through the radio, Uncle Garry is paying an unexpected visit, Vicky is nervous about bringing her friend Annie, and Kelly can’t stop drawing pictures of Flagman. Three generations of war collide under one roof as the presence of a fading imaginary superhero makes himself known.
