AT WHAT COST?

About the show

THE PROVOCATIVE HIT OF BELVOIR’S 2022 RETURNS FOR A LIMITED SEASON. Tasmania, now. Boyd has been walking a tightrope for years – balancing responsibilities to Land and People with the simple business of making a living. But there’s something happening, he can sniff it in the wind. Every year more and more folk are showing up claiming to be palawa too. No one’s heard of them until now… Where has this missing mob been all these years? Are they legit? Or are they ‘tick-a-box’? Who decides? And how? If Boyd’s going to take everyone forward together, they’re going to have to go back, old mob or new, into the island’s knotty past. And they might not like what they find there. We’re proud of At What Cost? and pleased to bring it back with the original cast before it goes on a national tour – if you missed out here’s your second chance. Nathan Maynard’s story of Country and competing histories opened some eyes and set off a few arguments. We loved its oomph, and how it asked us all to think about a very contemporary Australian issue. – Eamon
