About

It is 2019.


Geoff Marsh, a retired police officer, has been invited to the Winton Community Centre to deliver a talk.


It could be the usual chat about his career, peppered with useful hints and tips on crime prevention and road safety.


But this is more than that.


It’s the story of how he became a miner, then a copper. He tells us of the one decision that changed his career and the momentous year that changed him, his community and his life, forever.


“The writing is superb: nothing is wasted, every line matters” (Fringe Guru)


About the Play


Age Guidance: Suitable for ages 15+ (contains strong language and descriptions of violence).
