Four days after tropical Cyclone Larry devastated the North Queensland town of Innisfail, playwright Adam Grossetti and director/playwright Jean-Marc Russ travelled north to interview the survivors of the cyclone.

They had read that one of the inhabitants of The August Moon caravan park had died during the cyclone, sparking a trial by media of the park’s owners.

Over the next twenty-four hours Adam and Jean-Marc uncovered an inspiring tale of the resilience of a local community faced with unbelievable catastrophe.

Intertwined with this story are Adam and Jean Marc’s sometimes awkward attempts to interview the caravan park inhabitants and local workers to communicate the human emotion and drama that they were recording first hand.

This show combines documentary video, news footage and live audio recordings revealing the real story behind the headlines.
