ANZAC DREAMS tells the story of Corporal Ash, an Australian veteran of World War One, lying on a non-descript hospital bed as he awaits his final moments on this earth.  Visited by Death (who populates the narrative in various disguises), Ash enters into a Faustian bargain so that his soul and that of his comrades, whose deaths still haunt Ash, may finally rest in peace. There is of course a price which Ash only finds out in the conclusion of the play.  From the moment of this pact, Ash is transformed into his younger self and along with his resurrected comrades in arms, embarks on a surreal journey through the battlefields of Gallipoli and France. Interspersed with Australian songs of the period that express the sorrow and heartache of a nation grappling with monumental loss, Ash and his band of brothers are confronted not only by the horrors of war, but also by the erosion of their dignity and sense of self.
